"Eddy Ben Arous has done very well for France. A couple of times he's got stuck in there with some crucial turnovers."

Someone needs to tell the Stade de France disc-jockey that less is more.

They have so far crammed Ram Jam's Black Betty, The Rembrandts' I'll Be There For You, and Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit into a horrible soundclash of a medley.

"Wales's kick-chase has been really impressive so far. They're getting a really strong red line going forward. There's not the intensity to contest at the moment from France, which is why Wales are getting the ball back so much even when they kick it out of hand."

Martyn Williams
Former Wales captain on BBC One

"The first 35 minutes were very much a stalemate and an arm wrestle, but the last five minutes have opened things up a bit more. It's still a stalemate and France are getting plenty of ball, but not doing that much with it."

Thomas Castaignede
Former France international on BBC One

"It's like Barcelona-style stats so far. France have had all of the ball and all of the territory, but it's not reflected on the scoreboard. We need to get more ball in hand to create the opportunities."

Wales have been pounding on the door, but so far the French defence has stood strong.

Here are your half-time stats:

Introvert Dave: Wales are using the ball well.

Si Morgan: A different France tonight - more flair, throwing the ball around, looking a lot more like the French teams of old!

Neil Wallington: It's good to see Parra back on the pitch. He gives France more options.

"France will be disappointed that they are not going into half-time ahead."

"France have dominated the possession and territory, but they haven't really created a try-scoring opportunity. The forward pass is the one time they've opened up the Wales defence."

Camille Lopez takes on a penalty from a decent distance and a testy angle, but that is nowhere near.

Well wide and the French fly-half's miss is the final piece of action in the half.

France strip the ball from Welsh hands, Mathieu Bastareaud slips the offload out of the sidedoor to Sofiane Guitoune, but now Liam Williams gets back to steal possession back.

France nick the ball back as Rhys Webb's little dart leads only up a cul de sac.

A breathless passage of play.

Brice Dulin loses the ball as he tries to run a kick back. Now there is space for Wales.

George North on the charge. Hauled down just short and Wales are within 10m as the half ticks down.

"The game has come to life and now there's a fantastic atmosphere inside this stadium. And that's all because this is a France side that is trying to play rugby with a spark and creativity. That's just like the France of old."

Former New Zealand lock on BBC One

"France are really trying to speed this game up. They feel they might just have the upper hand on Wales at the moment, but they're just lacking that intensity in what they're trying to execute."

"That was a very early call by the referee. Very early call. It was absolutely spot on. It was a great ball though and it just spotted that Liam Williams was defending quite tight with his shoulder pointing in-field."

Tricolours fluttering in all corners, Yoann Huget jubilant in the corner, but, just as every Welsh voice shouted, the final pass to the France wing was forward.

That was a warning for Wales though. Liam Williams did not look comfortable isolated against Huget.

"It's great defensive work by the French, but it's slowing the game down so that you can't attack."

There is not going to be a wide spread of points between these two sides come 80 minutes.

Tight and cagey stuff.

Dafydd Pritchard, BBC Wales Sport at Stade de France: "Mathieu Bastareaud's introduction was popular with the French fans, who are raising the decibel levels at Stade de France as Les Bleus look to play a more expansive game.

"Every time full-back Brice Dulin collects the ball, there is a roar of expectation that the Racing Metro man should run rather kick.

"Wales are, however, doing a decent job of keeping the locals quiet with their spells of possession, even if they haven't led to any clear scoring chances yet."
