The 2019 Six Nations has had a lot of highs with quite a few lows – two sides that have seen both of those extremes now go head-to-head for round 4. It’s Ireland vs France and you can live stream the game from absolutely anywhere with our help.
Ireland vs France – where and when
This Six Nations 2019 fourth round sees Ireland take on France at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
The game itself starts today, Sunday March 10, at 3pm GMT.
France has had a tough run so far losing to Wales (19–24) and England (44–8) but did beat Scotland (27–10) in Paris a fortnight ago. While Ireland haven’t quite had the tournament they were hoping for following the opening loss to England (32–20). They’ve since bounced back by beating Scotland (22–13) and Italy (26–16), but neither very convincingly.
Ireland coach Joe Schmidt has rung the changes with seven fresh faces from that victory in Rome. The French side will remain the same as the victory over Scotland in Paris.
Last year’s Six Nations game between the two sides went down to the final whistle in a brilliant game that saw Ireland nab the win in Paris. Expect this year to be just as exciting and you can watch an entire Ireland vs France live stream wherever you are using this guide and, if you’re travelling, a handy VPN.

How to live stream the Six Nations when you’re not in your country
If you’re outside your country of residence – whether that be the UK or anywhere else – and try to start streaming the rugby via your native broadcaster, you’ll soon discover that you can’t as it is location restricted. Fear not, the action is still within your reach. All you need to do is download and install a VPN to effectively trick your computer into thinking that it’s back home. That way you can enjoy your home coverage (as long as you do so in compliance with the broadcaster’s Ts&Cs) without delving into the dangers of an illegal stream.
It’s really easy to get started with a VPN – simply download, install, open the app and select the appropriate location. For example, you would choose a UK server if you were trying to watch ITV coverage.
We’ve tested all of the major VPN services and we rate ExpressVPN as the absolute best thanks to its speed, security and simplicity to use. We also like that it’s compatible with so many devices and streaming services (e.g. Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PS4, etc). Express is excellent, but there are other fantastic VPN options out there as well – here are our current top three entrants on our best VPN countdown:
1. ExpressVPN: the best all-round VPN for streaming, comes with 30-day trial and/or 3 months FREE with an annual plan
2. IPVanish supports up to 10 devices, so great on the go
3. NordVPN: one of the most affordable VPNs out of the big guns
