France vs. Wales: Winners and Losers from 2015 Six Nations Clash

Wales turned France over on their own patch with a 20-13 win that puts them back in the hunt for the Six Nations title.

A Dan Biggar try and 15 points from the boot of Leigh Halfpenny were enough to beat a limited French side who still seem mired in a struggle to define their identity.

That's four wins in a row for Wales over Les Bleus, and the result sets up Warren Gatland's men for a clash in Cardiff with Ireland in the next round.

Here are the winners and losers from Stade de France.

Loser: Camille Lopez

Camille Lopez had a bad day with his goal-kicking. The Clermont Auvergne man missed two attempts in the first half and seemed to be blaming a faulty kicking tee.

He lost the job to Morgan Parra for the first attempt of the second half, and the scrum-half also missed. He got the tee back for the next penalty, which was mercifully in front of the sticks.

He followed that up with a desperately poor restart after a Welsh penalty and coughed up possession to Wales.

Add to all that the forward pass that denied Yoann Huget a try in the first half and you have a pretty bad day at the office for the French No. 10.

He redeemed himself with the conversion of Brice Dulin's try, but the damage was already done with those poor early misses.

Winner: Dan Lydiate

Dan Lydiate’s moment of brilliance opened France up for Dan Biggar’s try.

The back rower ran a classic support line after Rhys Webb had sneaked through a gap, and the former Racing Metro man had the presence of mind to slip the ball out the back door for Biggar’s angled run.

Halfpenny was on target with five penalties and only narrowly missed his conversion attempt after Dan Biggar’s try.

The Welsh full-back proved how valuable a world-class kicker is at the top level, contrasting markedly with the travails of Camille Lopez in front of the sticks.

When France scored in the 68th minute to narrow the gap to six points, it could have been a score that handed Les Bleus the lead had Lopez been of the same calibre as Halfpenny.

Winner: Dan Biggar

Dan Biggar was excellent with his aerial bombs and with his own work in chasing many of them.

He ran an intelligent line to profit from Rhys Webb's break to score a fine try, too.

Overall, Biggar was brave in contact and able to manage a game with a cool head despite sticking it in several dangerous places.

Winner: Jamie Roberts

With two minutes left, Brice Dulin came scorching in off his wing and looked set to score a try that could have levelled the game.

He didn't bank on Jamie Roberts standing in his way. The man who plies his trade in Paris laid it all on the line to halt his Racing Metro club-mate and stopped the full-back dead in his tracks. A match-winning hit.
