Welsh pièce de résistance

FRENCH rugby has plumbed new depths following a second stunning Six Nations defeat at the Stade de France on Saturday that has left the nation feeling ‘‘offended’’, ‘‘battered’’ and ‘‘humiliated’’.

Inspired by half back duo Rob Howley and 28 point Neil Jenkins, Wales triumphed 43 35 for their first back to back wins in Paris for 44 years to condemn the French to a barrage of shocking criticism.
