France kicked off their Six Nations campaign with an emphatic 43-0 win over Wales.

Scroll down to the comments section for our blog of this game as Les Bleus cut loose.

Braces from from Théo Attissogbe and Louis Bielle-Biarrey were added to by crossings from Julien Marchand, Émilien Gailleton and Gregory Alldritt in a comfortable victory.

This was Les Bleus’ seventh successive triumph against the Welsh and for Warren Gatland’s men it’s unfortunately a 13th straight Test loss as their dire run continues.

Next week France head to Allianz Stadium to face England but will be without Romain Ntamack, who was red carded for a high tackle tonight, while Wales travel to Italy.
