:00:00. > :00:00.England face Sri Lanka, South Africa and the West Indies
:00:00. > :00:08.Now it's time to look ahead to this weekend's Six Nations rugby,
:00:09. > :00:09.starting with Wales against France tonight...
:00:10. > :00:11.Let's join our correspondent Andy Swiss, who's live
:00:12. > :00:21.at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
:00:22. > :00:27.We've been speaking to Rob Jones, asking whether it is a disadvantage
:00:28. > :00:31.that the roof is no weapon for the match due to a technical fault.
:00:32. > :00:35.We've wanted it closed for some time, most of the games we've been
:00:36. > :00:38.in, they'd managed to get their way, and they'd be more comfortable in an
:00:39. > :00:44.environment where the atmosphere is a bit better. There's no wind,
:00:45. > :00:46.there's no rain. Thankfully, conditions are pretty good anyway
:00:47. > :00:55.tonight. I don't think it will affect Wales too much, but the Welsh
:00:56. > :00:58.side will work hard for the end of the season. Both Wales and France
:00:59. > :01:04.are unbeaten after their first two matches, the bookies have Wales as
:01:05. > :01:08.the favourites. Is that right? I think so. France are a side in
:01:09. > :01:13.change, a new coach, they've had two wins, there is a bit of confidence
:01:14. > :01:15.and momentum. Although they have not performed as well as they would have
:01:16. > :01:21.liked. They were the underdogs coming into today's game. Normally,
:01:22. > :01:29.Wales Bill does the tournament go on. -- Wales build up as the
:01:30. > :01:37.tournament goes on. There is a lot of experience, the bench still looks
:01:38. > :01:44.strong. Despite the casualties, IC Wales winning today. I think France
:01:45. > :01:49.will get better. Players want that old French flair, and I think we
:01:50. > :01:57.will have good rugby for many years to come. A couple of changes for
:01:58. > :02:03.Wales, Alex Cuthbert is back. Dan is back as well. I think Dan is back
:02:04. > :02:07.cause of the physical onslaught they expect. I think Alex Cuthbert, it
:02:08. > :02:14.was a case of really waiting to see whether he could get back in form.
:02:15. > :02:21.He showed more form with his side, Cardiff Blues. Charter is an
:02:22. > :02:28.experienced player who could add more weight in bulk. Wales have a
:02:29. > :02:32.great recent record against France, winning their last four meetings.
:02:33. > :02:35.What about who score prediction, do France have a realistic chance?
:02:36. > :02:41.Wales will win uncomfortably in the end, I think. They grind out that
:02:42. > :02:49.wins. I think they will probably win 31-21. We will have to wait and see
:02:50. > :02:51.but I'm pretty confident. Wales versus France kicks off at eight
:02:52. > :02:53.o'clock tonight. The big match at Twickenham
:02:54. > :02:55.tomorrow afternoon is, of course, between England
:02:56. > :02:58.and Ireland and what a contrasting start to the tournament
:02:59. > :03:00.the two sides have had. England top the table,
:03:01. > :03:02.last year's champions Ireland Thomas Niblock has been
:03:03. > :03:10.with the Ireland camp this week. The contrast between England and
:03:11. > :03:15.Ireland in this year 's championship could not be greater.
:03:16. > :03:19.A new coach, two wins from two, and grand slam aspirations within reach.
:03:20. > :03:26.It's all good for England. Ireland have two games, no wins, and hopes
:03:27. > :03:30.of a third success all but over. But Eddie Jones believes the side
:03:31. > :03:36.have a bite. They are a very clever team. They are well coached by Joe
:03:37. > :03:38.Smith. They can maximise results, and looking at the team, they have a
:03:39. > :03:43.fewer -- a fewer injuries, but they have
:03:44. > :03:58.McCluskey, he is outstanding. They the England coach says that he is
:03:59. > :04:01.going to target Jonny Sexton, Johnny Sexton has said that he is
:04:02. > :04:06.frustrated because everyone is questioning his fitness.
:04:07. > :04:10.Even the coach says that too many people think they are.
:04:11. > :04:18.Toes. Ireland trained at Twickenham this morning, led by Rory Best, he
:04:19. > :04:19.prefers to concentrate solely... We are going off to Zurich for
