Follow live reaction as France hung on to claim a thrilling victory against Wales to keep their Six Nations Grand Slam hopes alive. The visitors survived a second-half onslaught from Wales in an electric atmosphere in Cardiff but could not get over the line despite having several clear opportunities, in what was a phenomenal defensive effort from Les Blues.
France scored a clinical opening try inside 10 minutes as Anthony Jelonch finished off a fine move after Melvyn Jaminet drew the defence in to create space for the flanker on the touchline. Wales made a good response, defended well and made life awkward for the visitors, with the boot of Dan Biggar kicking Wayne Pivac’s side to within a point at half-time.
