Wales v France: Odds and tips
France are 7/4 to take a big step towards the Grand Slam by winning in Wales, where they lost by a single point on their last visit. The hosts, who give up six points on the handicap, are 2/5 favourites.
Tony Calvin's recommended bet: Wales (-5pts) v France at 10/11
"France have lost eight of their last nine matches against Wales since 2012, and the one success was the infamous 20-18 win in Paris in 2017, where the home side prevailed courtesy of a converted try in the 20th-minute of injury time.
"With home advantage, I have to be all over Wales at the generally available -5 and I have had a fair bet, even though it will be very interesting to see if the roof is closed on Saturday. The Cardiff forecast looks very wet, so keep an eye and an ear out for that decision."

Wales v France: Inside the camps
- Leigh Halfpenny on Wales' Six Nations chances
"Absolutely, we can still win it (Six Nations).
"We have lost one game - and we are hurting from that - but it's not over.
"We have to win every game now and that is the challenge. We are hugely excited about that.
"We did it in 2013 after losing our first game at home to Ireland and then winning the rest."
- Alun Wyn Jones on the scrum
"It's funny, I think the tone, context and language used can sometimes be ill-perceived.
"I wasn't at the press conference but I think it may have fuelled the fire for some. They are not my words. If anything, it's completely the other way - the words were borne out of respect for what French rugby has been about for many, many years, which is a dominant pack and flair behind.
"It's probably borne more out of respect than a lack of but that's my perception.
"Ultimately, we just want to conform to the laws and they are adjudicated accordingly.
"I didn't want this to be a talking point. The talking point should be about the rugby and the game as a whole and the Six Nations, and not necessarily about the intricacies, because we could go on to the tackle laws, we could go on to the ruck laws and could be here for another two hours and I could miss the team run.
"But hopefully, the game and the occasion is what we're talking about after the game."
