France hammered Wales 52-3 in the opening round of the Women’s Six Nations championship in Montpellier.

The defending grand slam champions scored nine tries against Wales including a hat trick from hooker Caroline Thomas.

The 80 minutes provided some outstanding pieces of play from a dominant French side, who next play England away in round two in a game which could be an early championship decider.

Last year France beat England 18-17 in Grenoble en route to winning the grand slam but home advantage for England could be crucial.

    Wow, that looks like a really strong French team indeed! The cross-field kick for the try was particularly magnifique.
