Overview
- France, chasing a third straight win to keep pace with England, host Ireland on Saturday at 21:10 at Stade Marcel-Michelin in Clermont-Ferrand.
- François Ratier made only two changes, handing Teani Feleu her first start at centre in place of injured Gabrielle Vernier.
- Ambre Mwayembe starts at loosehead prop in a planned rotation with Yllana Brosseau.
- Ireland sit third after routing Italy 57-20 and carry extra motivation from the tight 2025 World Cup quarter-final loss to France.
