of course, i’m going to watch #FRAvWAL later and be equally disappointed
Nicolas Depoortere ruled out of #FRAvWAL
Team announcement has been moved forward to Thursday from Friday
Emilien Gailleton or the uncapped Fabien Brau-Boirie likely to start at 13 on Sunday

I'm on RMC Sport's rugby podcast 'Entre Les Potos' (Between the Sticks/ Mates) this week to preview #FRAvWAL
The question was "Do you change a winning team?" and explained Welsh rugby's crisis

Of course it's Jess Fishlock who scores Wales first goal in a major tournament. It could have been nobody else. #FRAvWAL #WEURO
If you play enough World Cup with your friends, you'll be able to finish like that in those situations, too. Hope she shouted her country name for it to count. #FRAvWAL #EURO2025
Damniwch ef #FraVWal
Yma o hyyyyyd, come on! #FRAvWAL
Wales hoping to do what tournament debutants very rarely do. No two ways about it, they've got to get a result against a French team that have been one of the most impressive overall from their previous game.

Superb take and finish from the East Terrace Fantasy Team winger Emilie Boulard.
OK, see also plays for @francerugby.bsky.social

A complete mentality shift from last game showed what we can do and stood up to be counted. Lots of improvements to be made, especially in attack but world's away from v England. #fravwal
The French really know how to rock a stadium. Always comes across as a party atmosphere
#FRAvWAL
So Sian Jones eh? Never seen her before much but speed of ball is very impressive. Wouldn't mind seeing her featuring more, to be fair. #fravwal
12,738 at Amedee Domenech in a stadium holding 14,000 and a town of 49,000
Impressive
#W6N #FRAvWAL #FRAPDG
Painful 10 minutes coming up for Wales. Think the scoreline will look a lot different at the end of it. #W6N #FRAvWAL
HANDBAGS!!!
THERE'S HANDBAGS!!!
#FRAvWAL
Happy with that. France helped us out a bit being shit but our pack’s putting in a shift with solid discipline. Backline’s not there yet but it’ll come when more players come through. Kinda worried we’ll tire in the second half & France will capitalise but best I've seen from us in years. #fravwal
To have the "boulard" (avoir le boulard) means to be big-headed in French
Her first try was class, the second just clinical
#W6N #FRAvWAL #FRAPDG
Wales certainly looking better organised, utilising their power well and more fluent in attack. They lack a bit of speed which is a problem in defence and attack, they also need a more reliable lineout.
#Rugby #SixNations #FRAvWAL
I suspect this will be a completely different game after 60 minutes - Wales will tire and France will run away with it, but it's really impressive to see Wales holding their own right now. Looking good for the future. #W6N #FRAvWAL
Some really good improvements. Whatever was going on in the England game mentality wise, they seem to have got that out of the way and we've come here ready to play. One thing I was really worried about but fair fucks, properly proving me wrong here. #fravwal
Don't get why France are so panicked. Could easily beat us if they just calmed down a bit. Weird too, them being at home and everything. #fravwal
Wales score again!
They're absolutely getting the rub of the green here, but they're not letting the opportunities slide.
2 point game!
Fra 14 Wal 12
#FRAvWAL
Reminds me of Dragons attack this. Trying to fancy passes but we don't have the players to do it. And giving France chance to just get at us. #fravwal
That's two very dubious scrum penalties for Wales but shhhhhhhh, say nothing.
#FRAvWAL
Love that the culture of overpowering forwards and jouer backs transcends French teams regardless of whether it's the men's or women's team or literally any age level within
#FRAvWAL
My dad walked into me watching the France v Wales game, saw France's badge & said "I see the chickens are winning" 😭
