Tries: Deshaye, Grisez 2, Menager, Vernier, Feleu Cons: Queyroi 4, Bourgeois

Grand Slam-chasing France ran in six tries to condemn Wales to another heavy defeat in the Women’s Six Nations.

Wales had hoped for a response after a heavy defeat by Ireland, but failed to score a single point as they again struggled with accuracy and composure.

Annaelle Deshaye, Joanna Grisez and Romane Menager were gifted tries in the first half.

Gabrielle Vernier, Manae Feleu and a second for Grisez after the break added to Wales’ misery.

France will now play defending champions England for the title on 27 April, while Wales remain rooted to the bottom of the table with a single losing bonus point.

Ioan Cunningham’s side will be looking to avoid the wooden spoon when they take on Italy at Principality Stadium in the first of three games on Saturday, 27 April (12:15 BST).
