Ireland Target Breakthrough Result Away to France

Kick-off is at 8.10pm in Parc des Sports Stade Marcel-Michelin.

Ireland travel to face France at Stade Marcel-Michelin looking to build on their strong response against Italy last time out.

Confidence has grown within the squad after recent performances, particularly following last-year's close encounter between the sides that ended 18-13 in France's favour.

Those meetings in 2025 were tight, and it underlines the sense that the gap between the teams has narrowed since Ireland's wooden spoon in 2023, even if History favours France.

Aoife Wafer remains a central figure for Ireland, with her impact around the breakdown and carrying game likely to be key again. France, however, have been solid defensively so far in the championship and are a considerable step-up from Italy.

While Ireland are still chasing a first away win over France, there is a growing belief that this group is capable of challenging, and possibly, delivering a statement result.
