France's rugby juggernaut rolled on with a record-breaking 45-19 victory over Wales in Cardiff, their biggest Six Nations win in the Welsh capital. Fabien Galthie's side scored eight tries, including a debut score from 20-year-old Fabien Brau-Boirie and a try from Louis Bielle-Biarrey that marked his 23rd in just 24 internationals. The French attack was relentless, racking up 28 line breaks and 1,136 carry metres against a Welsh defense that looked overwhelmed.

Wales' hopes of avoiding a third consecutive Wooden Spoon now rest on finding answers quickly. Former England captain Martin Johnson described France as "massive favourites" who "had zero worries" against Wales, praising their confidence and comfort on the ball. The visitors could have scored even more, with Antoine Dupont and Matthieu Jalibert orchestrating an attack that left 31 defenders beaten and produced 24 offloads.

France now face Italy in Lille before trips to Scotland and a potential Grand Slam decider against England in Paris. Sam Warburton warned that while France's combination of physicality and attacking flair makes them formidable, the pressure of expectation could create vulnerabilities. With their biggest rivals struggling, the question isn't whether France will win the Six Nations, but whether anyone can stop them from claiming their second consecutive Grand Slam.
