Wales vs France LIVE: Six Nations result and final score with Grand Slam under threat

“I think we prepared during the week knowing this was going to be one of the toughest games. It wasn’t a clean match, but that is expected against a team like Wales.

“The basic stuff - discipline, being more secure getting out of our own half. There are definitely a lot of things to work on next week.

“This is a really amazing and incredible team to be a part of. I am really grateful to be a part of this because I think we can do great things.”

39 minutes without a point to the end and yet that was a game that never dragged. An outstanding defensive display from both sides, but it is France who win ugly and survive to make it four wins from four and tee up a chance at a Grand Slam in Paris next week.

To the right. Josh Adams well handled by Gael Fickou. Two forward carriers tackled in midfield. Owen Watkin now, beating one, but now France have it! PEATO MAUVAKA STEALS THE BALL AT THE BREAKDOWN AND FRANCE’S GRAND SLAM HOPES REMAIN ALIVE!

A few more phases and then France rid themselves of the ball. Gareth Anscombe claims the mark.

Louis Rees-Zammit weaves with ominous intent, but can’t quite find a fissure. Is that a knock on from Alex Cuthbert? No, backwards! That is, however, a French hand knocking the ball on. Wales scrum twelve metres inside their own half. 38 seconds left.

Gareth Anscombe’s clearance isn’t the best. France lineout 35 metres out. Peato Mauvaka hits his jumper at the tail. Good throw, good take, good call.

Two minutes left as Thibaud Flament is buffeted backwards by two Welsh tacklers.

Dragged to the left! The gap stays at four.

It’s mighty tough. On the 15-metre line, 49 metres out. Melvyn Jaminet has a huge boot.

Lineout taken well, and Maxime Lucu introduces himself to the higher reaches of the Principality Stadium, launching a high kick.

It doesn’t quite go far enough, and suddenly space appears for Will Rowlands, who stomps into it. But Wales are isolated, and Jonathan Danty is over the ball - another jackal penalty to France. Another vital intervention - and this penalty is kickable...

France defend the set-piece strike move solidly. They then nearly nick ruck ball, but Wales still have it.

To the left...Romain Ntamack grabs it! His left hand harpoons a floated pass at the line and France survive. Wales are penalised for their illegal efforts to win it back and they will be asked to retreat with shaking heads. What an intervention from Ntamack!
