Match Summary:
There were no surprises in the Pool B matches played earlier today at Burleigh’s Pizzey Park sporting complex, with Wales demolishing France 42-6 in the opening Round 3 match.
The Welsh obviously enjoyed the perfect Gold Coast conditions, piling on five second half tries to finish second in their pool and book a semi-final showdown with Australia on Wednesday night.
Wales were always in complete control of proceedings, turning a slight 14-6 half-time advantage into a seven try romp, with fullback Gareth David scoring a try and booting seven goals in an all-round flashy performance.
It was another spirited effort from France, but they again struggled in holding out a much larger opposition, and they now turn their attentions in salvaging some pride in Tuesday’s Plate semi-final against Scotland.
