France v Wales Match Highlights

France won out after one of the most dramatic, stunning endings to a game in RBS 6 Nations history, with 20 minutes of extra time played before the France scored a converted try to earn the victory. France beat Wales 20-18 in a memorable encounter at the Stade de France in Paris on the final day of the 2017 Six Nations Tournament. France got off to the stronger start with Remi Lamerat scoring a try and Camille Lopez kicking a penalty to give France a 10-0 lead. Virimi Vakatawa was sent to the sin-bin for a deliberate knock-on, and Leigh Halfpenny kicked two penalties during his absence. A third Halfpenny penalty reduced the French lead to 10-9 at half-time. Halfpenny scored three more penalties in the second half, taking his tally to 6 out of 6, and it appeared that Wales had won the clash. But in the amazing final period of play, Camille Chat scored a try in the 100th minute, and the resulting conversion gave France a 2-point victory.
