Stade de France

France delivered a commanding performance against Wales, finishing the match with a score of 43-0. The scoring began early with tries from Attissogbe and Bielle-Biarrey, both converted by Ramos, showcasing France's attacking prowess. A yellow card for Lloyd further hampered Wales' efforts, allowing France to capitalize with two more tries before halftime. After the break, Marchand and Gailleton added to the scoreline, with Gailleton's try occurring shortly after a red card for Ntamack. Despite their numerical disadvantage, France maintained dominance, and Alldritt capped the scoring with another try late in the game. Ramos was instrumental with his kicking, converting all but one try, while Attissogbe and Bielle-Biarrey stood out with multiple tries. Wales struggled to find their rhythm and were unable to respond offensively throughout the match.
