Liam Williams and Gael Fickou swapped tries in Cardiff.
Published
Wales secured runners-up spot in this season’s NatWest 6 Nations Championship after edging out France 14-13 at the Principality Stadium.
A Liam Williams try and three Leigh Halfpenny penalties swayed a forgettable contest Wales’ way as they completed a clean sweep of home wins in this season’s tournament.
France went the same way as Italy and Scotland before them, yet the visitors could – and probably should – have taken the spoils, given their dominance for much of the match.
