France Dominates Wales 43-0 in Six Nations Clash

Wales faced a harsh reality in their opening match of the 2025 Six Nations, suffering a heavy 43-0 defeat to France in Paris. This loss marks Wales' first scoreless Test since 2007, highlighting their ongoing struggles since the 2023 World Cup, where they also failed to secure a win throughout 2024. Despite the poor performance, the Welsh scrum showed some resilience, with notable contributions from new scrum consultant Jones and captain Morgan, who stood out for his defensive efforts. Warren Gatland's squad included veteran players to bolster the team, but many analysts expected France's superior power and quality to dominate the match. Looking ahead, Wales will need to regroup quickly as they prepare for a crucial match against Italy, where they hope to find their footing in the tournament. Overall, the match served as a stark reminder of the challenges facing Welsh rugby as they seek to rebuild and regain competitiveness.
