Wales vs France Live: Struggling Hosts Face Daunting Test Against Six Nations Favourites in Cardiff
Can Steve Tandy’s side spring an almighty shock over Les Bleus? The question looms large as Wales prepare for another daunting day in their Six Nations campaign, hosting championship favourites France at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
Wales have endured a turbulent period, suffering heavy defeats in their last three outings. The scale of their decline was starkly illustrated last weekend in a meek and naive showing against England, resulting in a 48-7 thrashing. This followed similarly sizeable scorelines against New Zealand and South Africa during the autumn internationals, and the challenges do not ease as the hosts return to their home ground.
French Dominance and Welsh Plight
In another indicator of the Welsh plight, a few empty seats are likely to greet a French side itching to get going again after dismissing Ireland in their opener. Fabien Galthie’s men have had ample time to rest and recharge from round one, and despite injuries striking in midfield, France may just be eyeing another statement showing to solidify their status as tournament favourites.
The second round of the Six Nations concludes in Cardiff, with Wales facing up to another formidable task as France arrive in town. The woes continue for Welsh rugby, with expectations of sparse attendance today at the Principality Stadium following an opening drubbing by England. Another sizeable scoreline could be on the cards against the highly fancied French team.
Key Match Details and Predictions
Can Steve Tandy’s side defy the odds and spring an almighty shock? The answer will unfold from 3.10pm GMT, as fans and analysts alike watch closely. Ugo Monye has already revealed his Six Nations predictions, adding to the anticipation surrounding this clash.
Wales host France this afternoon in a match that could define their tournament trajectory. With the hosts struggling for form and confidence, and France looking to build on their strong start, this encounter promises high stakes and intense rugby action in the heart of Cardiff.
