Dupont Leads France to Dominant Six Nations Victory Over Wales

What a night for France! Antoine Dupont put on an absolute masterclass as France crushed Wales 43-0 in their opening Six Nations match at the Stade de France. It was a record-breaking performance, one that left Welsh fans in disbelief and French supporters celebrating a flawless victory.

From the very start, it was clear that France was operating on a different level. Dupont, returning to the Six Nations after missing last year to focus on sevens for the Paris Olympics, was simply untouchable. In just 49 minutes, he set up three tries before being subbed off, having already ensured his team’s dominance. His vision, passing, and overall control of the game were nothing short of world-class.

Wales, on the other hand, were completely outplayed. They had no answers for France’s relentless attack, and their defensive frailties were brutally exposed. By halftime, France had already run in four tries, leading 28-0, with Theo Attissogbe and Louis Bielle-Biarrey both grabbing two each. After the break, replacements Julien Marchand, Emilien Gailleton, and number eight Gregory Alldritt added more misery for the visitors, sealing a historic win.

For Wales, this defeat was more than just a bad night—it was their 13th consecutive loss in Test rugby. Head coach Warren Gatland, in his 150th match in charge of Wales, is under immense pressure. His side collected the Six Nations Wooden Spoon last year and had hoped for a fresh start, but this crushing defeat only deepens their struggles. Losing key players like Owen Watkin and Aaron Wainwright to injuries only added to their woes.

There was some controversy in the match as well. France’s Romain Ntamack saw red in the 71st minute for a dangerous tackle on Wales' Ben Thomas, a disappointing end to his return after a long injury layoff. But by then, the game was already out of reach for Wales.

France, led by their inspirational captain Dupont, showed they are serious contenders for this year’s title. Their next challenge will be against England, while Wales will try to recover before facing Italy. One thing is clear—France have made a statement, and Wales are left searching for answers.
