A compelling Friday-night grapple with France resulted in a second successive narrow Six Nations defeat for Wales, leaving Wayne Pivac and his captain, Dan Biggar, to wonder what might have been.
Wales were on the wrong end of a 23-19 scoreline against England in the previous round, in a far more open encounter, but relentless French defence kept Wales scoreless in the second half at the Principality Stadium. They were restricted to three penalties from the boot of Biggar as France ground out a 13-9 win.
