In a riveting Six Nations clash in Cardiff, France showcased their dominance by clinching victory over a winless Wales, crossing the try line eight times.

Gael Fickou, Nolann Le Garrec, Georges-Henri Colombe, Romain Taofifenua, and Maxime Lucu were among the try-scorers for France, while Thomas Ramos contributed 20 points with his boot.

Despite tries from Rio Dyer, Tomos Williams, and Joe Roberts, Wales found themselves overpowered in the latter half of the game.

A remarkable surge from France saw them tally 25 unanswered points in the final quarter, sealing their triumph.

Gatland's swift departure from the interview has garnered widespread attention on social media, although he later returned to fulfil his interview obligations.

One fan wrote: "Warren Gatland looks p***ed off, and rightly so. Amateur hour."

Another said: "We all know Welsh rugby is in a tough place but this is not a good look from Gatland."

A third added: "çFair play to him clearly the camera crew and reporter had kept him waiting and gave false promises they were ready."

Scotland Rugby News: "The captain didn’t really get involved as much as he would have liked to during a second half when Scotland struggled. Had a part to play in the first half and did brilliantly before the third try but more needed from him as a leader."

Rugby Pass 5.5/10: "One of those frustrating days for the fly-half maestro, with several passes and offloads going to ground. His superb 50:22 kick created the position for Scotland’s third try but missed his first place-kick of the Championship when he nudged his conversion of Schoeman’s try wide, after 18 out of 18 up to that point. Kept trying to conjur something, but couldn’t regain control once Italy got in front."

Planet Rugby 3/10: "Got on the scoreboard and held his own in the scrums, but he made an incredibly costly error by flattening Vintcent off the ball and denying his side a try, and Italy scored almost immediately afterwards, a 10 point swing at least."

Telegraph 5/10: "Beautiful with ball in hand, wretched with the boot. Missing seven points felt crucial and kicking from hand was also not on the money."

Rugby World 5/10: "Put some nice width on the ball, particularly with the miss passes to a rampaging Ellis Genge in midfield. However, he was guilty of missing a very kickable penalty attempt in the first half and also had a drop goal charged down. Mixed bag."

RUCK 6.5/10: "A frustrating day personally for Ford, yet he would be delighted to see his side turn the fortunes around in the second half. Had his drop gaol attempt charged down and missed the 30th min pen from the Ireland 10m line. Ford was offside along with Ollie Chessum at 38 minutes, as England worked tirelessly to clear their lines. Missed another conversion after Furbank’s try, as Owen Farrell watched on in the Twickenham stands."

Ball.Ie 3/10: "Really struggled with the pace and intensity of this top quality test match. Needed to share the Ball carrying work and was a passenger for much of the game. Let others have engagements with the referee. Rightly carded and put his team under pressure by a yellow card that got England into the lead."

Rugby Pass 3/10: "O’Mahony – so often a figure of leadership and intensity on the field – had a surprisingly quiet game, blending into the background more than making his mark. Getting sin-binned for a 57th-minute professional foul didn’t help matters."

Telegraph 4/10: "There cannot have been many games where the Irish skipper looked so out of sorts; a mindless sin-bin capping it off."

Planet Rugby 4/10: "Admitted himself that his yellow card was not good enough and it proved very costly in the latter stages of the match. The skipper didn’t return to the pitch after his sin-binning."

Wales Online 4/10: "Had a torrid time at the set-piece against one of the most destructive scrummaging looseheads in the world in the shape of Cyrille Baille. Failed to make an impact in the loose, and was replaced just after half-time."

Rugby Pass 2/10: "Monstered in the scrum by Atonio, which is no shameful thing. Still, his struggles were apparent and he was subbed for Dillon Lewis shortly after half-time."

Planet Rugby 5/10: "France put plenty of pressure on Wales at scrum time, and Assiratti bore the brunt of the pressure at the set-piece. Did not make much of an impact in other areas, and was not surprising when he was yanked off in the 45th minute with Dillon Lewis coming on to replace him."
