It was competitive but Wales ultimately deserved the victory in Friday night's Six Nations clash with France.

Tries were at a premium for the duration of the 19-10 tie, with Wales' solitary try coming from a fortuitous bounce of the ball and the only French effort coming in the final minute. And while every player gave it absolutely everything, it was match official Wayne Barnes who came in for the most criticism after the final whistle for constantly breaking up play, being far too finicky with the scrum but, all the while, failing to flash a yellow card in the direction of a Wales player despite a series of instances of foul play in their 22. https://twitter.com/mark_coleman210/status/703339651914928128 https://twitter.com/FfionHarris24/status/703339611960053761 https://twitter.com/griffiths_nigel/status/703339510755676160 https://twitter.com/Allenleech/status/703328315113738240 https://twitter.com/Conallfinn/status/703339212519694337 https://twitter.com/andymcgeady/status/703333136919371776 https://twitter.com/nbrez/status/703332184137007107 https://twitter.com/owenwarrell/status/703324070386016259 https://twitter.com/VitalSwansea/status/703323197224194048 https://twitter.com/RnRRugby/status/703321459607867392 https://twitter.com/Luke_e_Boy/status/703315225601318912 https://twitter.com/WelshFoodie62/status/703339903841673216 https://twitter.com/gorey_john/status/703339175534272514 https://twitter.com/ScarletGar/status/703339079631564802 https://twitter.com/IWantedDanB/status/703339035666817024 https://twitter.com/JackHDavies1/status/703338807123447808
