Wales suffered more Guinness Six Nations misery as France romped to a 54-12 victory in Cardiff. Thomas Ramos added seven conversions as the visitors claimed their biggest Six Nations triumph in the Welsh capital. Wales had conceded 34 tries and 248 points under Tandy, and that porous defence was breached inside 90 seconds. With the Wales defence sucked in, Jalibert’s inch-perfect kick detected Bielle-Biarrey for the winger’s 23rd try in 24 Tests. France bagged the bonus point on the stroke of half-time as Jalibert punished Adam Beard’s fluffed kick to race over unopposed.
