France grand slam in sight after win over Wales


Listen Later

Sonja McLaughlan brings you reaction from the Principality Stadium, where France kept their Six Nations grand slam hopes alive after beating Wales 13-9 in Cardiff on Friday.
French rugby journalist Axel May tells us why France's winning mentality is their biggest asset this year.
We're also joined by former Wales internationals James Hook and Philippa Tuttiett and our commentator Gareth Lewis to reflect on a stellar performance from captain Dan Biggar and discuss whether the grand slam is now a certainty for France.
And we look ahead to Saturday's matches, with England taking on Ireland at Twickenham and Scotland facing Italy.
