  1. try

    Try - Wales 24-45 Francepublished at 80+1 miins

    Maxime Lucu

    This time the combination works and Penaud and Lucu exchange passes for the scrum-half to score in the right corner.

    Unfortunately for Evan Lloyd, it all came from his missed lineout throw that handed France the attacking scrum.

    Wales 24-40 France

    Damien Penaud exchanges passes with the scrum-half but France are bundled out to touch.

    Wales ending the game deep inside their own half.

    It's a long up the field, it's a long way back on the scoreboard and there's a long way to go to end this losing run of theirs.

    However this lad has.

    What a way to celebrate your first Test start than with a try, a man of the match performance and a big away win in the Six Nations.

    Chapeau to you messieur.

    Wales 24-40 France

    Thomas Ramos has kicked 20 points today - but actually hasn't played that well, especially in defence.

    Wales 24-40 France

    Gareth Davies tries to get something going with a typical burst deep into the French territory from a quickly taken penalty - but Dillon Lewis knocks on from Josh Adam's offload.

    There was half a chance there.

    Thomas Ramos

    Wales are chasing the game, the ball-carrier is isolated and the huge frame of Colombe is over the ball and wasn't budging.

    Ramos adds the three points and this game is over.

    Yoram Moefana on for centre Depoortere.

  8. Replacementpublished at 71 mins

    Wales 24-37 France

    Big moment for Cardiff hooker Evan Lloyd who comes on for his international debut.

    He's the fourth Cardiff player to win his first cap in this Six Nations after Cam Winnett, Alex Mann and McKenzie Martin.

    Wales 24-37 France

    Wales have imploded under the physical pressure of France - having gone from leading 24-20 to trailing 24-37.

    That's 17 points conceded in the space of nine minutes.

    Converted try - Wales 24-37 Francepublished at 69 mins

    Romain Taofifenua try, Thomas Ramos con

    Oh that could be the game.

    Gareth Davies looks to box-kick it clear but it's charged down by the 6ft 8ins wall of Taufifenua who then wins the five-metre dash to tap down.

    That's the bonus point - and it could be the win.

    That's the seventh time the lead has changed hands in this topsy-turvy game - and Les Marseillais is ringing out inside the Principality Stadium..

    Great play to get in that position, the wide pass with Damien Penaud getting away down the wing which set up the field position.

    Then Georges-Henri Colombe can smash himself over. Once they get near your tryline it's near impossible to stop them.

    Wales don't need to be too loose, there's plenty of time left, they just need to control where they play.

    Georges-Henri Colombe try, Thomas Ramos con

    Again Damien Penaud is the man to get France past the gainline.

    France forwards pick and go to the try line and replacement prop Georges-Henri Colombe crashes over the line.

    From that sort of range, these big French forwards are so difficult to stop. You'd need a riot shield.

    Alun Wyn Jones
    Former Wales captain on BBC One

    Clear intent from the French four front five forwards four new ones came on.

    Contrast to Wales bringing the half backs off and I'd be interested to see Ioan Lloyd taking this ball to the line.

  15. Replacementpublished at 62 mins

    Wales 24-23 France

    Mason Grady on for try-scorer Joe Roberts.

    Alex Roumat on for Ollivon, who has been quiet.

    John Barclay
    Former Scotland captain on BBC One

    Dillon Lewis did brilliantly there getting over the ball and forcing Luke Pearce to go back for the advantage.

    France going for the penalty I think is a smart move because they feel they're dominant in the scrum but not getting the reward.

  17. Penalty - Wales 24-23 Francepublished at 60 mins

    Thomas Ramos

    Damien Penaud again streaks down the right touchline and the scrambling Welsh defence is caught offside.

    France are back to within a point - but Wales will probably be happy with that after all that pressure.

    Interesting that France went for the kick rather than lineout or scrum. They don't feel they're getting the rub from referee Luke Pearce.

    Luke Pearce blows and Wales survive a huge scrum almost in front of their own posts.

    Big boost for Wales.

    Jonathan Davies
    Former Wales international on BBC One

    Ioan Lloyd coming on is a big change at 10. I think Tommy Reffell was struggling a bit with that knock.

    I think Sam Costelow has had a good kicking game so it's a big call.
