He replaces Steven Finn who's been ruled out with a calf strain. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |

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