RUCK’S MAN OF THE MATCH – Romain Ntamack (France)

Best player: Romain Ntamack

Romain Ntamack: The brightest spark in an electric French performance. The fly half was at the centre of most things France did well in attack and did his fair share in defence. The 20-year-old was metronomic with the boot and bagged himself a try to cap off a fine afternoon.

Underpeformer: Dan Biggar

Dan Biggar: Despite an impressive 18-point haul, Wales’ fulcrum spent too much time directing his complaints towards the officials. His ill-discipline was widely condemned on social media as he was outshone by his opposite number, a fly-half ten years his junior.
