Live coverage of the final and decisive match of the 2020 Six Nations, with the result at the Stade de France dictating who wins the Championship.
England, who play Italy a few hours earlier, anxiously await news from the French capital as Eddie Jones’s team could potentially be overtaken in the standings by whichever side wins in Paris, with bonus points and points difference possibly becoming crucial.
France won their opening two home matches before the 2020 championship was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Ireland, meanwhile, have won three of their last four Six Nations games in Paris – prior to this, they had lost 18 of their previous 19 matches there.
John Inverdale presents live coverage, with former England and Ireland captains Martin Johnson and Paul O’Connell providing expert analysis, along with former France star Thomas Castaignede. Commentary is provided by Eddie Butler, Brian Moore and former Ireland flanker Jamie Heaslip.
