Follow the latest updates live from the Six Nations clash between Wales and France, brought to you from the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

Wales are hoping to get back to winning ways after a disappointing defeat against Ireland last time out, and in an effort to do that head coach Wayne Pivac has recalled both Ross Moriarty and Gareth Davies to the starting line-up in an effort to beat one of the two remaining unbeaten sides in the championship. Both Aaron Wainwright and Tomos Williams drop down to the bench, where they are joined by debutant Wasps lock Will Rowlands.

France coach Fabien Galthie meanwhile has been forced into one personnel change with Vincent Rattez ruled out with a broken leg, resulting in Gael Fickou shifting to the wing and fit-again Virimi Vakatawa returning to the centre. The encounter also sees defence coach Shaun Edwards return to Cardiff for the first time since leaving the Wales set-up at the end of the year. Follow the live updates below.

Prediction

Wales 24-15 France: It will be the biggest test for this young French ide so far, and in the cauldron that is the Principality Stadium, they may just finally wilt. It doesn't help that their defensive captain Fickou has been shifted out to the wing, and with Biggar and Adams both fit to start, Wales should have too much for the visitors.
