Les Bleus – who have finished as runners-up in each of the last two editions of the tournament – entered 2022 as favourites to claim the crown and are the only undefeated team left.

Fabien Galthie's men have already dispatched Scotland and Ireland, arguably their two main rivals this year. Now only Wales and England stand in the way of their first triumph since 2010.

Reigning champions Wales entered this tournament in a turbulent state with key injuries and absences harming their preparations.

They were demolished by Ireland in their opener but have performed admirably, in the circumstances, against Scotland and England, including a victory over the former.

Wales v France prediction

This is far from a certain victory for France, though they have toppled Wales in their last three meetings – including one triumph in Cardiff.

This feels very typical of a game that France have thrown away in recent Six Nations tournaments but they will draw on those experiences to power through this one.

Wales won't surrender, they will make life difficult for the visitors. However, France will fancy a narrow win here to thrust big pressure onto England and Ireland.

Wales v France prediction: France win
