France kicked off their 2021 Women’s Six Nations campaign in style as they ran in eight tries to see off Wales 53-0 in Vannes.
It took winger Caroline Boujard less than 15 minutes to score a hat-trick and hooker Agathe Sochat crossed for the bonus-point try by half-time.
Wales were resilient and defended valiantly after the break but No.8 Emeline Gros twice cleverly found her way to the whitewash before the final few minutes saw Emilie Boulard and Laure Touyé add gloss to the scoreline.
It was an early marker from Les Bleues as they look to reclaim the Women’s Six Nations title for the first time since 2018 and you can watch the best bits of a convincing triumph.
