The 2025 Men's Six Nations Championship kicked off with a bang as France and Wales clashed in an electrifying opener at the Stade de France in Paris. Fans were treated to a full-on display of rugby brilliance as the French team sailed to a whopping 43-0 victory over their Welsh counterparts. With the lights shining brightly, Antoine Dupont led the charge for France, showcasing his dazzling skills and sheer dominance on the field. Despite missing several key star players due to injury, the French squad proved they are a force to be reckoned with this year, scoring an impressive seven tries against Wales – all while leaving the opposition scrambling.
As the match unfolded, it became clear that the French team’s cohesion and strategic prowess outshone Wales', who were left looking for answers under the relentless pressure. The only blot on France's performance came when Romain Ntamack was handed a red card for a high tackle, leaving fans speculating how it might affect his and the team's morale going forward. Regulatory board meetings will surely see discussions surrounding player conduct, but those were worries left for another day as the French fans celebrated their emphatic win.
