It will be a day to remember for Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones as the lock makes his 149th international appearance to break Richie McCaw’s record of Test appearances, with this being his 140th outing for his country on top of his nine Lions appearances. Wales fans will also look to debutant flanker Shane Lewis-Hughes, having been talked up by the skipper himself as one to watch for the future.
Scotland will be a significantly more dangerous proposition today though with the enigmatic Finn Russell back at fly-half after resolving his differences with head coach Gregor Townsend, with the Scots out to claim a rare away victory that could secure them a top-three finish in the Championship.

30 mins: France 14-10 Ireland
Disaster for Ireland! They knock the ball on again, and lock Bernard Le Roux hacks through and gives chase. He shows delightful footwork to dribble the ball on, and Irish flanker Caelan Doris hauls him down without the ball when a try was a certainty, conceding a penalty try and earning himself a yellow card in the process!
29 mins: France 7-10 Ireland
France show what they’re capable of with a lovely backs move that is eventually chipped deep, and the bounce does Stockdale as he knocks it on … he knocks it on, surely? It’s not given, and Ireland escape with one there.
25 mins: France 7-10 Ireland
France infringe again as Le Roux is caught offside, not for the first time, and Sexton this time will take the shot at goal. Healy is down on his knees once again and they think the vomiting is being caused by a bang to the head, and the loosehead is heading off for an HIA. Given the vomiting, that doesn’t look good and we wish him well. Ed Byrne comes on in the front row, as Sexton knocks the penalty over to give Ireland the lead.
24 mins: France 7-7 Ireland
The attack doesn’t really go anywhere so Sexton kicks for touch, and it’s just flicked off a French hand on its way that gives Ireland the lineout inside the 22. When your luck’s on your side…
22 mins: France 7-7 Ireland
Ireland are growing into the game now and Ntamack gives away a silly penalty for taking out Henshaw in the air, giving the away side a kick to touch in the French half that sets up another good platform to attack from.
21 mins: France 7-7 Ireland
A strange stoppage in play as Bouthier returns to the field and Healy - having just scored - needs to throw up. I’m not kidding you, the prop is bent over, hands on his knees, vomiting, and just when he thinks it’s over he reaches again for good measure.
“Are you ok?” asks Wayne Barnes. Healy looks amused.
20 mins: France 7-7 Ireland
Aki takes the crashball right off the scrum, and after two more drives, Cian Healy sees the line, waits for the support, picks and goes and drives over to score on his 100th cap. Sexton adds the conversion and the scores are level.
More importantly, that means Ireland only have to win by six points as they have the try in the bag.
17 mins: France 7-0 Ireland
Ireland go left to Sexton, and he’s stopped short. Ireland win a penalty advantage for offside, and when their attack comes to nothing we come back for the penalty. With the mark more than 15 metres in-field, Ireland go for the scrum as they want tries.
