Gatland: We struggled with the expectations

WALES went into Saturday’s game knowing they needed to beat France by 27 points to snatch the Six Nations title from England.

But against a French team still reeling from a shock loss to Italy, on home soil and with their reputations on the line, that was never realistically going to happen.

“Sometimes as a team we love the underdog tag, we love when we’re under a bit of pressure,” said Warren Gatland afterwards.
