I like the BBC coverage. Gabby Logan is the best UK presenter and Andrew Cotter the best commentator by some distance.

But it does feel like they have too many co-commentators and pundits.

Only one they need to get rid of, adds absolutely nothing, has zero fucking idea and yet somehow retains her spot for decades.

When did Jonathan Davies transition?

Signed with Widnes in '89.

@pooler-fan classic 3 on 2 where you give it to the guy outside and let them make the decision, he's probably never kicked in his professional career.

Probably?

"Marchand continues his march to the line"

Route one from France for try number 5. It's the French hooker's 50th Test apparently and he celebrates it with a meat pie.

[Victor Meldrew]

Could get seriously ugly for Wales.

[sparky]

France really are some side these days. Threats all over pitch and they play with both structure and flair.

Far too good for poor Wales.

[Victor Meldrew]

Glorious try for France.

Glorious try for France.

Which one of us is watching on delay?

[sparky]

Attisogbe scores his second try from a cross kick after his opposite wing goes missing in action.

Great execution by Jalibert, but far too soft.

[sparky]

And it's another. It's over 50.

If it was a boxing match, the ref would have stopped the contest.

And there's 18 minutes to go.

[sparky]

I'm losing patience with Jonathan Davies.

[sparky]

Are the Welsh crowd taking part in a sponsored silence?

[sparky]

Apparently today's attendance is 57,744.

It's the lowest ever Six Nations crowd in Cardiff, fewer than the previous smallest crowd of 58,349 against Italy in 2002.

Matthieu Jalibert wins Man of the Match. Correct call.

[sparky]

Grady gets a consolation try and gives the crowd something to cheer for at the end.

12-54 with two minutes to go.

[sparky]

All over.

France march on. They are some side at the moment.

Wales showed a bit of backbone and defiance there, but their lack of skills against a team that has them in abundance really limits them.

[Steven Harris]

Wales did well to limit the damage given what the score was with 20 minutes to go
When you miss over 30 tackles and kick ball away even right at the death the welsh 9 kicks the ball away
France for too good but I did like some of the welsh ball movement when they held the ball for periods

[sparky]

Alex Mann at 7 was the pick of the Welsh players. He's a keeper.

Eddie James had some good moments too.

[sparky]

France achieved a whooping 28 line breaks. Probably should have finished better and used LB-B more.

Sonja "What's morale like? It must be difficult in that red jersey now."

This interview is another disaster.

[pooler fan]

France were playing a different game to Wales for most of that.
Ridiculous pace and skills.
We battled hard but are miles away from where we should be.
It's going to be an awfully long road back (if we ever get there), I'm not hopeful of things getting better anytime soon.
