The Blue have scattered Wales, swept 50-0 under the gusts of Cardiff during the 3rd day of the Six Nations women. A tournament where England is on the royal road to coronation after its 27-0 success against Ireland.

The French, who wanted to reassure themselves after their inaugural defeat against the English (19-13) overtaken by their victory against Italy (45-10), inflicted the usual tariff on the Welsh.

A year after the 52-3 demonstration at the opening of the 2019 Tournament in Montpellier, the Bleues this time put Wales fanny in Cardiff with an avalanche of trials (8).

The winger Cyrielle Banet signed a double (3rd, 37th) as the scrum half Laure Sansus (30th, 51st).

In the clash between the last two undefeated teams in this Tournament, England and Ireland, the Red Roses confirmed their status of ultra favorite by correcting the XV of the Clover 27-0 with five tries.

Now alone in the lead, England, on the way to the Grand Slam, receives Wales before moving to Italy. Two of the three most affordable nations in the tournament.

The third meeting scheduled this weekend in Lombardy between Italy and Scotland has been postponed to a date which remains to be defined due to the multiplication of cases of new coronavirus in the peninsula.

Results of the 3rd day:

Wales - France 0 - 50
