Wales overwhelm France 27-6

-

Wales dominated a one-sided Six Nations Championship affair and ran out 27-6 winners over France in the Millennium Stadium on Friday night.

Most of the damage was done in the first half, as the Welsh racked up a 20-6 lead by half-time with full back Leigh Halfpenny kicking five penalties, opening the score in the first minute.

His only first-half failure with the boot was his conversion attempt for George North's try, which came after a mix-up between Brice Dulin and Jean-Marc Doussain let the Welsh centre in.

In reply, all the French had to show for a lacklustre display were penalties from Doussain and Jules Plisson.
