Today at the Stade Colombes in Paris, France (who were the five-nation champions for the last two seasons), had the last chance to redeem their honour and record their first win of the current season. Their sad tally of ten consecutive defeats by the elite of world rugby can hardly have bred the necessary confidence to take on what is acknowledged as the most impressive Welsh team for many seasons. After their crushing dominance of Ireland a fortnight ago, Wales must now be regarded as favourites for the championship.
