    Look out for Laure

    France scrum-half Laure Sansus is the leading try scorer of the 2022 TikTok Women's Six Nations.

    The No9 has crossed the white line four times in just three games.

    Much like scrum-half Antoine Dupont in the men's team, much of France's play is orchestrated by Sansus from the base of the breakdown.

    Changes aplenty for both sides

    Ioan Cunningham makes five changes to the side that were humbled 58-5 by England two weeks ago.

    And Annick Hayraud hasn't held back either.

    There are six changes to the France side that won 28-3 in Scotland on April 10.

    Good evening, it's time for Friday night rugby

    Our coverage of the 2022 TikTok Women’s Six Nations continues this evening with a mouthwatering Friday night clash between Wales and France.

    The visitors head to Cardiff Arms Park looking to maintain their 100 percent record in this year’s tournament.

    Les Bleues have won all three of their games so far this campaign and are eyeing a Grand Slam.

    Recent history is in France’s favour too.  

    Annick Hayraud’s side have won the last FIVE Six Nations meetings between these two nations.

    And Wales will be licking their wounds ahead of kick off, having been thrashed 58-5 by England in their last match of the tournament.

    They did beat Scotland 24-19 before that though and will be desperate to secure a second home win on the bounce for the first time since 2016.

    Kick off for this one is 8pm, with full team news coming up next!
