France march on, with a huge game against England on the horizon for the two Grand-Slam chasing teams.

For Wales, they will take the positives from the display, but it is a third straight defeat in the 2025 Women's Six Nations.

Next up for Wales is a home game against Ireland at Rodney Parade, while France travel to Italy.

Thank you very much for joining us, and there is plenty more Women's Six Nations action to come today as England take on Ireland.

Follow that game live on the BBC Sport website. Kick-off from Cork is at 16:45 BST.

There were more positives than negatives, especially the way we fronted up physically.

This was a good physical battle against a France side as we look towards the game against Ireland next weekend.

France's dominance in being able to keep the ball in hand proved important in that second half.

Sean Lynn will take a lot from the Wales performance, particularly in that first half where Gwen Crabb and Kate Williams scored.

Ultimately the power of the French side told, and the longer the game went on the more the hosts dominated proceedings.

Without doubt an improvement from the England game though, as Philippa Tuttiett says.

It was a definite improvement for Wales from the England game when they died away in the last 20 minutes.

They have managed to stay in the fight and there was definitely some development there.

France's Grand Slam dreams remain intact, despite an improved performance from Wales.

A well-deserved win for Les Bleus in Brive, who are now three from three.

Wales' defence was scrambling there and Georgia Evans was receiving some treatment after the try under the Wales posts.

France are not satisfied with the current score, they want another try.

They are inches away from it. And they have an advantage.

The French hooker, who scored France's third try, is named player of the match this afternoon in Brive.

Well deserved.

The last couple scrums have been far more solid from Wales, and Sian Jones can clear.

In fact the clearance takes a touch off a French hand so it will be a Welsh line-out midway inside their own half.

The one negative for France today has been the handling errors, albeit in slippery conditions.

Another knock-on in the Welsh 22 ends this latest dangerous French attack.

This is relentless from France, and the Wales players look exhausted.

France are attacking every breakdown, to great success.

Another penalty goes the way of Les Bleus, who are going to keep their Grand Slam hopes alive.

Georgia Evans has been everywhere - again - today, and she pinches this line-out back for Wales.

There is no doubting which team is on top now, and the longer this second half goes on the more dominant France become.

Ambre Mwayembe is the latest to win a penalty for Les Bleus, and France have another attacking line-out in the Welsh half.

Kayleigh Powell chases a long kick and the follow-up is good from Wales, winning the ball back in the French 22.

But the move comes to a end shortly after as Gwenllian Pyrs drops a simple pass forward.

More frustrating moments for Wales.

Gwenllian Pyrs is back on, replacing Lisa Neumann, as Wales need a full front row to compete at this latest scrum.

Sian Jones is back on again at scrum-half, replacing Keira Bevan.

This is now where you need the leaders in the Wales team. I can already see Georgia Evans talking to the girls on her left and right.

Things get worse for Wales, as Maisie Davies is shown a yellow card as part of the penalty try.

This could be a long 10 minutes for Wales.
