Ireland face France in a potential title-decider.

Ireland face France on Saturday in the Six Nations, and here is everything you need to know, including TV details, team news, and referee details.

You can follow the game in our live hub above.

What date and time is Ireland vs France?

Ireland take on France at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Saturday, March 8.

Kick-off is at 2:15 pm.

What is at stake?

Ireland failed to record a bonus point win over Wales, which means it is unlikely that they will finish on more points than France if they fail to win on Saturday.

France currently have a +91 points difference, while Ireland are on +28, which means it is almost impossible to overtake France in this regard.

Ireland will likely have to beat France and then Italy if they are to become the first ever team to win the Championship three times in a row.

To win the Grand Slam, Ireland will, of course, need to beat France.

Ireland claimed their biggest win ever over France in last year's tournament, with a 38-17 victory in Marseille.
