A blistering second-half display from France was enough to see off a spirited Welsh side and secure a bonus-point 45-24 victory in Cardiff.

A free-flowing first half saw both sides trade early penalties before Rio Dyer stormed through a lacklustre French defence for the first try after just eight minutes. Thomas Ramos's second penalty reduced the hosts' lead before Gael Fickou stormed over in the corner for France's first try.

The hosts hit back immediately as Tomas Williams took advantage of Owen Watkin's great break to score just two minutes later but France restored their lead when scrum half Nolann Le Garrec darted over the line from close range before the break.

Nursing a narrow three-point lead, France found themselves trailing once again shortly after the break when Joe Roberts touched down in the corner. But France, looking to bounce back from their disappointing draw with Italy last week, eventually proved too much for the home side as their physicality and pace showed from the bench.

Captain Gregory Alldritt had a try disallowed for a knock on but his French side were soon back ahead when replacement forward Georges-Henri Colombe powered over from close range.

Romain Taofifenua extended the lead and secured the bonus point when he charged down an attempted Welsh clearance before Maxime Lucu finished off a well-worked routine to score in injury time.

A blistering second-half display from the visitors proved too much for a spirited Welsh side but there was plenty to be pleased with, especially in that first half.

France move up to fourth and level on points with Scotland, while Wales' quest for their first win goes on. They host Italy at home next weekend as they look to avoid finishing bottom of the table.

The icing on the cake for France as Lucu combines with Penaud and storms over from a late scrum on the five-yard line as the clock ticks into the red.

Ramos' perfect kicking record vanishes at the end as his conversion attempt drifts wide but France won't mind as they cap off a superb second-half display to see off Wales.

What a great threat he has been all game and the winger makes another good burst but can't quite find the offload before he is bundled into touch.

But the French defence has been much improved since the break and the home side aren't having the same joy and creating the same opening.

The clock ticking down but Wales would certainly like a fourth try and a bonus point.

But the Welsh replacement is hauled up near the line and France will eventually have the put in as the ball is spilled forward.

Wales have just run out steam in front of their home fans here as they give away a penalty in a defensive position.

Ramos has been superb from the tee and knocks over another kick to extend the visitors' lead.

Dee makes way in the front row, with Lloyd coming on for Wales as we enter the final ten minutes.

France have daylight as Williams' attempted clearance kick is charged down by the towering replacement.

Romain Taofifenua does superbly to react after making the block and wins the foot race to touch down the loose ball in the end zone.

Ramos adds the extras with another great kick and that's some much-needed breathing space for the visitors now.

And a try it is! Wales' superb defence is breached at last and there is not much they can do to deny someone of the strength of Colombe from close range.

The replacement forward powers over, with Ramos adding the extras to push France six points ahead.

But the referee isn't sure and sends it up to the TMO.

The French winger has been superb this game and makes another huge burst up the wing. More desperate Welsh defence required.

Roumat comes on for Ollivon as France look for fresh legs in the pack.

Roberts makes way at centre as Grady goes on for the tryscorer.

Ramos kicks the penalty to get his side within one point but Wales will surely be delighted that they have only given up three points from that onslaught of French pressure.

It's an early engagement from the French pack and Wales have the free-kick. The hosts clear but Penaud comes bursting forward and the visitors are almost immediately back near the try line.

Another penalty for France and it looks like they'll take the points this time.

Both half-backs make was as Davies and Lloyd replace Williams and Costelow.

In the pack, Reffell also departs for Mann.

The French captain clearly dropped the ball before the grounding and the try is ruled out. France, though, have a penalty about five yards out and another chance to get over the line.

It's almost impossible to prevent the French pack from that range with the power that they have. Alldritt eventually touches down but has he knocked the ball on as he looked to ground it.

TMO will take a look...
