Head coach Warren Gatland is overseeing a transition to a young squad, but many of his players are yet to taste victory in a red shirt and many onlookers will be expecting tonight to defeat no.13. France will be raring to go, and have Antoine Dupont chomping at the bit after skipping last year in favour of Olympics preparations.

After a winless 2024, Wales face a tall task of the opening night of the tournament as they take on favourites France in Paris

As Wales prepare to kick off the 2025 Six Nations away to France, Warren Gatland will hope for an unlikley repeat of 2019 Welsh heroics in Paris.

Wales kick off their 2025 Six Nations campaign against France in Paris this evening. Make no mistake, 2024 was a bruising one for Wales and Warren Gatland, losing every Test match, but this is a new year and a new competition for the men in red and a chance to change the record in the Welsh rugby.

Wales are similar odds to beat France in Paris as Japan were when they famously downed South Africa 34-32 at the 2015 Rugby World Cup. That was the biggest upset in World Cup history, and a Wales win tonight would be one of the biggest in Six Nations history.

France v Wales kicks off at 8.15pm on Friday, January 31 at Stade de France in Paris. For viewers in the United Kingdom, France v Wales is being shown live on ITV1. You can therefore live stream the game by using the ITV X app, but you will need an ITV account and TV licence for this option.
