20 Points
France will need to beat Wales by 20 points on Saturday to retain the 6 Nations trophy. France coach Marc Lievremont has opted for experience in the decider, calling several veteran players back into the side. Wales coach Warren Gatland has made only two changes to the starting team from last week’s game — James Hook over Stephen Jones at flyhalf and Huw Bennet over Matthew Rees at hooker.
