Never stop competing.

You're very welcome to Friday's Rugby Daily.

We made it.

I'm Cameron Hill.

Coming up, we'll hear from the Ireland camp ahead of their big French test in the Women's Six Nations.

Could the Irish provinces face South African side the Cheetahs once again, this time in the URC?

And all you need to know ahead of a busy weekend of rugby action.

First up today, it's match day minus one for Ireland who take on France in the Women's Six Nations at Stade Marcel Michelin.

Erin King took the team for the captain's run this morning in Clermont as they target a first ever away win on French soil tomorrow night.

They're also looking for their first win full stop over the French in nine years and head coach Scott Beeman feels the first two rounds of this year's championship have primed them well.

It's just one change to the Ireland team from their 57 points to 20 win over Italy at Dexcom Stadium last weekend.

Dorothy Wall returns to the starting second row, so Ruth Campbell will have to make do with a spot on the bench.

The only other adjustment to the 23 is a tight head cover, with Eilis Cahill replacing Saif McGrath this week.

That means Robin O'Connor is retained at left wing, having scored a try in her international debut last Saturday in Galway.

Full-back Stacey Flood was thrilled to see the Leinster winger look right at home in the Ireland shirt.

She was speaking to Dara Smith-Nocton at the High Performance Centre earlier this week.

Now their trip to Claremont this time around was far smoother than the infamously torturous journey for a game in Poe back in 2012.

Then Ireland head coach Philip Doyle joined me a few weeks back and recalled the full story.
