Wales had to play most of the match a man down after captain Sam Warburton was sent off in the 19th minute for a dangerous tackle on Vincent Clerc that ended with the France wing landing head-first on the turf.

At that stage, Wales were 3-0 in front.

Morgan Parra kicked three penalties to give France a 9-3 lead heading into the final quarter.
