How to watch France v Italy
The game kicks off at 8pm, with live coverage on BBC One from 7.30pm, with viewers on the BBC Sport app and connected TVs also able to tune in, as well as visitors to the BBC website.
Six nations rugby returns tonight as France take on Italy at the Orange Velodrome in Marseille.
With both sides winless from their opening two matches, the stakes are high as round three of this year's tournament gets underway.
Jacques Brunel has made five changes to the home team as they attempt to bounce back from their defeat against Scotland last time out, with Mathieu Bastareaud, Benjamin Fall, Remy Grosso, Hugo Bonneval and Paul Gabrillagues all returning.
The visitors also make changes from their previous game, as Leonardo Ghiraldini, Andrea Lovotti and Maxime Mbanda are restored to the starting line-up following the 59-19 defeat to Ireland last week.
