  1. France 16-17 Wales

    A steamroller of a scrum shove from France!

    Wales in a tailspin, Wayne Barnes arm flies up France's way and this is surely a straightforward three from bang in front...

  2. France 16-17 Wales

    Cory Hill has needed a spot of treatment. The French crowd think he is laying it on a little thick.

    He is finally up and the scrum can be set...

  3. 'Chaos'

    France 16-17 Wales

    Paul Grayson
    Former England international on BBC Radio 5 live

    There have been some chaotic moments in this game. The non-try by Liam Williams and the gift by Yoann Huget has been chaos for players at this level.

  4. France 16-17 Wales

    Gareth Davies forces a pass on his own 22m and it is nabbed by Romain Ntamack!

    Panic stations!

    Camille Lopez drops into the pocket...Justin Tipuric with a heroic charge down.

    But the ball loops up and into...Felix Lambey's hands.

    But the France second row knocks on as he charges for the posts.

    Breathless stuff! And it will restart with a scrum red.

  5. Land of my Fathers ringing out

    France 16-17 Wales

    Wales a completely different side in this second half but even though this is a huge fixture for Welsh fans you notice that there are not that many here due to the traffic and travel disruption in the UK.

    But in one area of the stadium you can hear Land of my Fathers ringing out. But I have only counted 12 Welsh flags.... when usually there are hundreds. Shame many Welsh fans couldn’t make it.

  6. France 16-17 Wales

    France prop Demba Demba knocks on in contact, just when his side were building a head of steam on the Wales 22m.

    Liam Williams is down with a missing contact lense.

  7. France 16-17 Wales

    A teasing box-kick from Baptiste Serin causes some ripples of concern as it is allowed to bounce in Wales territory.

    George North chases back to clear up the mess.

    Gael Fickou has replaced Damian Penaud in the France backline.

  8. 'France have been poor'

    I don't think Wales have done anything spectacular. France have been really poor since they've come on at half-time.

  9. France 16-17 Wales

    This feels like a pivotal moment in the match.

    An hour gone, Wales have made a raft of changes after swinging the momentum their way with those two tries and that was a huge kick from Dan Biggar.

    It's tense inside Stade de France.

  10. Penalty - France 16-17 Wales

    Dan Biggar

    That self-destruct button gets another prod from a French finger.

    Demba Bemba is popped through the skylight of the scrum and that is a penalty for Dan Biggar to have a trademark long look at.

    He sweeps the rain out of his eyes and pings it over and, incredibly, Wales are in front!

  12. 'Playing with a skip in their step'

    France 16-14 Wales

    Shane Williams
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio 5 live

    We all know Wales love to hold the player up in the tackle, and that just goes to show the urgency in the Welsh line speed. They are playing with a skip in their step.

    I can assure that is how they would have been told to start the second half by Warren Gatland.

  13. France 16-14 Wales

    Stade de France does not quite know what to make of this.

    After romping into a 16-point lead, they have seen their advantage whittled down to just two in just 12 minutes of second-half action.

    It is an almost eerie atmosphere.

  14. Missed penalty

    France 16-14 Wales

    Felix Lambey makes an excellent first impression off the bench as he pounces on Dan Biggar to force a penalty.

    Camille Lopez calls for the tee, but he pushes it right of the posts.

  15. 'A very bad start'

    France 16-14 Wales

    Thomas Castaignede
    Former France international on BBC One

    It's a very bad start from the French team. We're not managing to put pressure on.

    The Welsh came back with a different mentality in the second half but hopefully the French bench will bring some composure.

  16. Replacement

    France 16-14 Wales

    More France changes as Morgan Parra is replaced by Baptiste Serin, Guilhem Guirado comes off for Julien Marchand and Felix Lambey replaces Paul Willemse.

    Got all that?

    My 6-year-old has a theory that Wales score when he goes to the loo. He decided to try it out, and went to the loo and suddenly Wales score. So it is down to my son needing the toilet when they score!

  19. Replacement

    France 16-14 Wales

    Warren Gatland changes his half-back combination.

    Gareth Anscombe and Tomas Williams are off and Dan Biggar and Gareth Davies are on.

  20. No try

    France 16-14 Wales

    Wales think they are in again!

    Ross Moriarty slides in beneath the sticks, but Wayne Barnes calls play back for Adam Jones obstructing Louis Picamoles' attempt to tackle.

    That was a marginal, paper-tight call.

    Picamoles was only just free of the breakdown. Was he really going to make the tackle?

    We will never know. France breath a sigh of relief,
