In the first half of the match, France played really well with positivity and full commitment. In the first eight minutes, France was leading by 8-0. French Lock Sebastien Vahaamahina has scored the first point of the match. France was leading by 19-10 at the end of the first half of the match.
After the half-time, the French team reduced to 14 players when match referee Jaco Peyper showed a red card to Vahaamahina. He (Sebastien Vahaamahina) elbowed Wales’ flanker Aaron Wainwright in the face in a maul and after this referee reviewed TV pictures and sent him off.
