Oh that was close.

France hooker Agathe Sochat twice involved but the cross-field kick eludes the four French players who were queuing up to score.

Fair play, Wales have managed to make this a proper Test match.

18,604 people in attendance at the Stade des Alpes, to confirm just how hostile that hostile atmosphere was today for Wales!

Harries heaves a sigh of relief. The fact she didn't make contact with Emeline Gros has saved her.

It's a shame though because it's allowed France to clear when Wales really had them pinned down.

The TMO Matteo Liperini has got involved here.

He's telling the referee to have look at Sioned Harries' swinging arm.

Alex Callender is such a pain in the backside.

And for any openside flanker out there - you know that's a huge compliment!

At the moment, France have the best pack in the world so the fact that Wales are challenging them and beating their scrums should be such a boost for them.

Wales have France pinned on their own line and facing pouring rain.

Keep them there!

Wow!

The Welsh scrum has just shoved the French pack off their own ball to win a penalty.

Kelsey Jones, Gwenllian Pyrs and Sisilia Tuipulotu take a bow.

Prop Ambre Mwayembe is on for the final 13 minutes.

Yeah as Jess said. Wales look far, far, far more effective when they keep the ball tight among those big forward.

Unfortunately the moment that ball goes out past Keira Bevan, Wales run out of ideas.

It's better from Wales but you can just see that when they get stuck in the tackle, they run out of ideas.

La Marseillaise rings out as the crowd try to put some noise back into the stadium.

The last 10 or 15 minutes they've been a bit shellshocked as Wales have grown into the game.

The weather is definitely not helping the French heads up game right now and very much favouring Wales' ball-crashing forward play.

After England's bonus-point win over Ireland and Scotland's long-awaited first win - against Italy - this is how the table looks before today's match.

Wales just need a point to guarantee third place.

Wales are on the front-foot again.

The scrum is now looking for more solid and Sioned Harries darts through from a lineout.

Fair play to the French fans, they were really cheering for Wales to get across the line there.

They were inches away.

It'll be interesting to see if France go back to type-around. They've such a strong wind against them now.

Chance to catch up with French replacements.

Props Rose Bernadou and Manae Feleu, lock Emeline Gros, scrum-half and full-back Maelle Filopon are all on

It's amazing how things have changed here - and not just the weather!

Wales have suddenly found a spring in their step and are using the wind to their advantage - belting the ball up field.

Two tries in the bag - could they get a bonus?

Wales are playing to the conditions and as we just mentioned, those substitutions are bringing just a new lease of energy onto the pitch.
