Telegraph Sport assesses who thrived and struggled as France hung on to claim narrow victory over Wales.

Stepped up early in the second half before he went off to help the misfiring lineout and a scourge in the loose. The reigning World Player of the Year could not influence his side in the later part of the first half. The former France sevens player who was injured the previous round made an immediate impact - his darting runs helped lead to France’s try. It was difficult for the centre to be at his best with Biggar marshalling the Welsh so well and he could not get into the game. However, Biggar made his life difficult and he shrunk as the match went on. A world-class performance from the base of the scrum, he was relentless. Played an important role in keeping both the French attack and lineout quiet for the first hour of the game. His work in the scrum and lineout helped to snuff out the French attack. Ensured his side put pressure on the French back three. Like all good captains, led by example – did well reading Jaminet’s kicks for territory in the second quarter. Moved to outside centre for the final 15 minutes. Looks so much more comfortable on the wing rather than as a centre – seemed to feed off Cuthbert’s confidence.

France edged a tight affair against Wales in Cardiff 13-9 for their fourth straight victory of this year's Six Nations.

Wales steamed forward into the French 22 one last time only to see a brilliant interception by Ntamack relieve the pressure. A tense, otherwise scoreless third quarter ensued, punctuated by a singing competition between the Welsh and French fans, battling each other to produce the loudest volume as a nervous finish beckoned. The French kept tackling and kept their shape. Jaminet’s limp attempt at a drop goal from distance, bringing the first half to a close, demonstrated the stress that Fabien Galthié’s side had been under. The Welsh passing game started to fizz, while powerful carries by Navidi and Faletau began to punch a hole or two. France’s mission for the grand slam rumbles on, and they remain on course for a first Six Nations title since 2010, but how Wales made them work for it.

Wales head coach Wayne Pivac: “Both sides want to play an entertaining brand of rugby and I think you have got the side at the moment who are probably the in-form team in the world in France. The last five Six Nations meetings between Wales and France have produced an aggregate winning margin of just 14 points, and Les Bleus can reflect on a solitary Cardiff triumph in the last 12 years. Wales host France in the first of this weekend's Six Nations clashes.

Wales v France - Reaction - Welsh Rugby Union (Welsh Rugby Union)

Wales pushed France to the limit at the Principality Stadium before slipping to a narrow 13-9 defeat on Friday night. Here we bring you the reaction from.

Probably a little bit of frustration, knowing that we probably did enough to win the game without actually winning the game. “We were attacking against a very good defensive team and coach on the opposite side. Ultimately they have got the win and we are the ones who are disappointed. “I thought we were the better team. We felt we did enough but it wasn’t to be although certainly a massive step in the right direction. We worked hard to try and get across the line, there was no lack of effort.

There was a dearth of creativity behind the scrum and the question Wales need to ask is whether they are playing complementary players. Should France have been reduced to 14 men after replacement Thibaud Flament tipped Josh Adams upside down and let him drop in the 67th minute? “The TMO said it’s a penalty, nothing else. France missed a miserly nine tackles all game — just one in the first half and the rest after the break as Wales dominated the forward battle. He constructively criticises as well as praises, knows the game inside out and is articulate with it. The visitors restricted Wayne Pivac’s side to only one clear break all match and came up with important turnovers that helped put the brakes on the home team’s effort. Whatever the circumstances, he bangs in an effort that earns him a gold star. He’s the boy in the class who never performs badly in an exam. And as ex-Welsh Rugby Union chief Gareth Davies said before the game, charging £100 for a ticket renders it almost impossible for a family to attend in Wales. “He’s very lucky it’s not a yellow card,” said Jonathan Davies from the BBC commentary box. Wales won 61 percent of the possession and enjoyed 67 percent of the territory in the second half, yet couldn’t get the job done. Read next: All the reaction to Wales v France and latest headlines
