PARIS, AFP: Damian Penaud scored two tries as France beat Wales 41-28 on Saturday to keep alive hopes of defending their Six Nations title.

Les Bleus now lead the table by a point over Ireland, who need just a point from England’s trip to Dublin to claim a fourth Grand Slam, but have an inferior point’s difference to Andy Farrell’s side.

France Head Coach Fabien Galthie made two changes from last weekend’s record 53-10 win over England as prop Uini Atonio won his 50th cap.

Wales No. 8 Taulupe Faletau reached the Test century mark hours after the Welsh Rugby Union announced their professional sides could finally offer new contracts to players after months of discussion.

Galthie’s side were playing their final competitive match before hosting New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup’s opener on 8 September, at the same venue.
