The Six Nations is up and running, with the first round of fixtures resulting in plenty of entertaining moments. We're ready to go again this weekend, with arguably the biggest game of this year's tournament taking place in Dublin.

Ireland and France are both tipped to win the Six Nations, but there can only be one winner this weekend. You can watch every second of the action on ITV1 (or ITVX) in the UK. If you're outside the UK, you will need to use a VPN to connect to ITVX without disruption.

When is Ireland vs France?

Ireland and France will battle for Six Nations dominance on Feb. 11:

Ireland vs France (ITV) — 3:00 p.m. GMT

The game will be shown live on ITV One, or you can live stream the fixture on ITVX.

Can you watch Ireland vs France from abroad?

When you try to connect to ITVX from abroad, you'll be swiftly blocked as this streaming platform will recognise your location. You can bypass this blockade with a VPN.

These popular cybersecurity services can hide your real IP address and connect you to a secure server in the UK. This process is quick and easy, and tricks sites like ITVX into thinking you are based in the UK. All you need to do is sign up to a VPN, download the app, connect to a UK-based server, and then head to ITVX to watch Ireland against France.
