What time is France v Australia kick-off today and what TV channel is it on?

Australia head to Paris to take on France on Saturday night fresh from a win over Scotland at Murrayfield last weekend.

It will be France's first Test match since their summer series against Japan, where they completed a clean sweep over the Brave Blossoms by winning both matches. France v Australia will be the first of three Tests for Les Bleus, as they come up against South Africa and Japan in the coming weeks.

Wallabies icon Michael Hooper has returned to the Aussie fold, featuring against the Scots last weekend in the 16-15 win, which was the first international outing for Australia since their frustrating Rugby Championship campaign, where they finished nine points adrift of winners New Zealand.
