THE PREDICTION
France produced one of the best performances of any team in recent years as they destroyed England last week. The French were unplayable as they produced some scintillating attacking rugby and will be eager to back that effort up as they host Wales. The Welsh claimed their first win of this year’s tournament as they got the better of Italy last time out but this is a much tougher assignment and with confidence flowing through the French squad after last week’s sensational display, they can back that up by covering the -20 handicap.
