France host Ireland in their first match of this year's Championship at Stade Maurice David, Aix-en-Provence, on Saturday 3rd February. Before then, they will have the opportunity to train with the senior team. Head coach Sébastien Calvet commented: “This honour is due to a relationship of trust established for several seasons now thanks to an opportunity put in place by Fabien Galthié. "At the end of this training block, the players will stay to play the long-awaited first match against Ireland. Others will leave but they will be prepared to participate in the following matches."
