France will host Wales at Stade de France for a match to kick off the Six Nations 2025. 

Despite a recent downturn, Wales has an incredible history in rugby union and one should never count out the Welsh. 

However, these teams met last year in Cardiff, and the French dispatched Wales by double digits. Now, Les Bleus will be at home.

But wait, there's more. 

This year, Antoine Dupont is coming back into the fold. Adding someone who is, quite possibly the best player in the world, is a boon for the French. 

Alongside Ireland, they'll be pushing for a title, if not a Grand Slam.

France vs. Wales is up first at Six Nations 2025. Here's what to know:
