That's it from Paris, unfortunately for Wales it went pretty much to script.

France ran in a magnificent seven tries, with Antoine Dupont starring.

But he'll likely be without his half-back partner for next weekend's game against England after Romaine Ntamack's needless red card.

It's back to the drawing board for Wales, they've now lost a record 13 Tests in a row, and seven on the bounce to the French.

They head down to Nice this week now before facing Italy, and the significance of that game cannot be overestimated.

It's absolutely huge for Wales and for Warren Gatland.

Until tomorrow!

Former Wales fly-half Dan Biggar told ITV: "For me, this game next week is the biggest match in Welsh rugby for the last 15-20 years.

"It's a huge match. I'm not saying that light-heartedly.

"Everyone is talking about an agenda in terms of the negativity, but it's very difficult to be overly positive because of the defeats and the way Wales are playing at the minute."

Wales head coach Warren Gatland speaking to S4C: "I think we started off alright, we tried to play some rugby, probably on a couple of plays overplayed a little bit.

"They're a good side and it's just making sure we get that balance.

"I thought we scrummaged well and the forwards worked really hard, in terms of trying to get front foot ball.

"But there's no excuses about the result. I thought we created a couple of opportunities and we didn't finish them.

"Probably the penalty call wasn't in our favour, I thought there were a couple of tough calls. That's what happens sometimes in those scenarios.

"We've just got to make sure we get back on the horse and look forward to preparing for next week."

If I was one of the coaches picking the team to face Italy, I'd say, 'Go out there and play how you like!'

Their tactics aren't working.

Let them make the decisions on the field and play what's in front of them because I don't think they've got a right to go outside of the plan.

Wales captain Jac Morgan told ITV: "Yeah it was a tough night, we're disappointed with the result.

"We knew how dangerous France could be, they capitalise on your mistakes.

"In attack we weren't quite clinical enough. There was a lot of good there, a lot of promise, we need to stay tight as a group now.

"We'll take it week on week, we want to keep on getting better and improving. We've got a lot of talent and a lot of passion."

Former Wales fly-half Dan Biggar told ITV: "I think Fabien Galthie, Shaun Edwards and the French coaching staff will be furious with that.

You see the score line, it was 38-0, 70 minutes on the clock and your main player, who hasn't played for 18 months, is probably going to miss certainly one game, maybe two.

"You can see how disappointed he is. He's really annoyed with himself."

It's sad for Owen [Watkin] to get an injury like that, it doesn't look good.

To lose a player at the start of the Championship, you talk about needing experience, Owen's been around the squad for about six or seven years now.

He's an experienced player and he's played a lot of games for the Ospreys.

Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks.

That's the first time Wales have failed to score a point in the Six Nations since 1998 when it was still the Five Nations.

Wales captain Jac Morgan speaking to S4C: "We're gutted with the result.

"We worked very hard as a team but if you make mistakes against a team like France, they're going to punish you.

"We have to stay tight as a group to keep improving and try to make fewer mistakes."

There were a couple of moments where you thought we were going to create something, go through the phases.

But they turned the ball over or knocked it on.

If you don't score the points, it gets hard.

France number eight Gregory Alldritt told ITV: "Big team performance today, incredible to play in this stadium, our fans are outstanding.

"The key was to play as a team, we've got a lot of individual really good players, and we wanted to play as a team.

"I think we did well, we got forwards and backs tries.

"We are happy with the win tonight, but we only did 20% of the job, we've got four more games to go."

He [Warren Gatland] picked the wrong team, it's as simple as that.

He hasn't picked the best players who are playing well and performing. You have to come out here and play your best players.

It feels like a very long night for Wales.

There are some very tired bodies out there. Italy away next week.

They've taken so much contact tonight and it takes a lot out of you.

It's been disappointing. They've thrown everything at it but unfortunately we aren't up to the standard.

I think in this tournament, there are two, maybe even three groups.

France and Ireland are in that top tier, then perhaps Scotland and England in the second tier, and unfortunately Wales and Italy are in the bottom tier.

Wales are possibly the worst team in the tournament at this moment.

Jac Morgan tears down the touchline, but the pass doesn't find the support player.

France decide not to run it from their own try line and put the ball out of play.

The whistle goes and it's a comprehensive victory.

I feel like I'm repeating myself but when France reach the Welsh 22, there's always so many options available, and they keep picking the right options.

As you were saying James...

It's Freddie Thomas who gets his marching orders for a build-up of Welsh penalties.

They're giving penalties away, it's costing them 50-60 metres.

France haven't been perfect, but what they have been tonight is really clinical when they have got in that 22.

You have to look at this performance, it's not good enough at this level.

The players have given everything, but we're not good enough.
