France run rampant to thrash sorry Wales 54-12 in Six Nations
France turned on the flair with a devastating eight-try show of power as they thrashed Wales 54-12 in their Six Nations meeting at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Sunday.
Wing Theo Attissogbe scored twice in the second half as France made it two wins from two. After two rounds they are the only side that can still claim a Grand Slam.
The French came into the match on the back of an equally eye-catching win at home to Ireland and the breadth of the their game and the pace and power of their runners were far too much for a Welsh side that suffered a similar 48-7 hammering at Twickenham last week.
The new centre pairing of Pau teammates Emilien Gailleton and Fabien Brau-Boirie both touched down in the first half with Louis Bielle-Biarrey also dotting down for his 23rd try in his 24th Test.
Wales responded with a try by Rhys Carre but France dominated the second period as Attissogbe scored twice with further scores for hooker Julian Marchand and lock Charles Ollivon, both of whom were playing their 50th Tests.
Mason Grady picked up a consolation try for Wales in the 78th minute.
It was France's biggest ever score against Wales, improving on the 51 at Wembley in 1998.
