FRANCE SECURED THEIR fifth Women’s Six Nations Grand Slam on Friday evening.

A 3-38 victory at Colwyn Bay saw the visitors score six tries en route to a comprehensive win which saw Wales register a single penalty from Robyn Wilkins in the first half.

A penalty-try from the champions put the game to bed as Rowland Philips’ side competed on an equal footing inside the opening few minutes.

Wales must now wait until Scotland’s meeting with Italy tomorrow afternoon to find out where they finish in the standings.
