France take a comfortable 16-0 lead over Wales into halftime. France got off to the perfect start with an early try giving them a 5-0 lead. Both sides then missed penalties before Wales were denied a try after a TMO call as they lost it forward in the grounding. France then crossed for their second try to extend their advantage to 10-0. Wales had another opportunity to get on the board, but missed their second penalty attempt. A French penalty extended the hosts lead before a perfectly struck drop goal made it a three score ball game at the break.
