Superstar scrumhalf Antoine Dupont has set up three tries and France has overwhelmed Wales 43-0 in an impressive Six Nations opener in Paris.

Head coach Warren Gatland is overseeing a transition to a young squad, but many of his players are yet to taste victory in a red shirt and many onlookers will be expecting tonight to defeat no.13. France will be raring to go, and have Antoine Dupont chomping at the bit after skipping last year in favour of Olympics preparations.
