Anthems are sung, players getting ready. COME ON WALES!

Penalty Wales. Kickable. Biggar...

WALvFRA 3m

WALvFRA 6m

Concussion magnet George North takes an elbow to the chin. Probable HIA.

Energetic stuff from both sides, lots of fizz and lots of kicking. France have a penalty, lining up for the kick.

WALvFRA 18m

France are extremely committed to the breakdown, maybe too committed, numerous infringements (some called, some not) - but the hunger is apparent.

Speaking of.... off side at the ruck, penalty Wales.Just in front of the posts, this should close the gap a wee bit.

#WALvFRA 26m

Surely that's a forward pass?

France score what looks to be an easy left wing try but the TMO takes a look and the forward pass in the build-up reverses the decision. No score.

#WALvFRA

Five minutes to go in this first half and emotions are rising... from both sides.

Penalty to Wales under the posts. Wales opt to scrum. Clock is red. Aldritt is yellow carded. Heady stuff.

Wales pick and go and pick and go and pick and go and omg they went left. And momentum is lost. And it's another penalty. And it will probably be another scrum under the posts. 44 minutes on the clock.

Half-time and everyone including me is breathless. Good grief that was a tough six minutes. Wales squander their opportunities, and we head in for oranges and heart to hearts.

We are back in full flow for the deuxieme, let's see if Wales can find some consistency in breaking down the Shaun Edwards French defence.
