France ended their Six Nations campaign with an emphatic 41-28 victory over Wales at the Stade de France on Saturday, and although they surrendered their title, Les Bleus showed they would be among the favourites when they host the World Cup in six months.
Damian Penaud crossed twice, Jonathan Danty, Uini Atonio and Gael Fickou scored a try each and Thomas Ramos kicked the other points, meaning Fabien Galthie's side were still in a position to win the championship if Ireland were to lose to England without a bonus point later on Saturday.
"I thought we showed some real character. We started well, just we gave them a couple of soft tries. The game could have gone away from us significantly but the impact of the bench was excellent," he said. France's reaction was as brutal as it was brilliant, a week after inflicting a record mauling on England at Twickenham and they have now scored 12 tries and 94 points in their last two tests.On their first attacking move, Penaud collected a long pass from Antoine Dupont and crossed in the corner after Romain Ntamack had escaped several tackles to dance his way through the middle.
France's casual approach was again punished when Williams scored the visitors' third try from a lineout 10 metres from the French line.
