Hello and welcome to our coverage of the final game from Round 4 of the Six Nations Championship. Ireland host France at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin today, in a crucial game for both sides for different reasons. Ireland need a Bonus Point win in order to keep their hopes of a Championship victory still intact. France need a win or Jacques Brunel will almost certainly consider this years campaign a very unsuccessful one. The visitors haven't won in Dublin since 2011, only winning one game against the Irish since then. Kickoff is 15 minutes away. Stay tuned for more live updates.
To stand any chance of winning the Championship, Ireland must win today and, even then, they would need Scotland to do them a favour at Twickenham next weekend.
France have named an unchanged side for the first time in the Six Nations since 2003
