A heavy opening day defeat to Ireland on home soil set the tone for France’s underwhelming campaign, their last match being a draw with Italy which they were inches away from losing.
Gatland has made big changes to the side, dropping regular centre pairing George North and Nick Tompkins completely in favour of Joe Roberts and Owen Watkin.
Roberts made his Wales debut, and only cap so far, against England in a World Cup warm-up match last summer.

Wales v France key player to watch
Joe Roberts (Wales)
The talented Scarlets centre makes his first Six Nations start this weekend, bringing a good element of acceleration and line-breaking ability. Roberts also possesses a good kicking game, something Gatland may see as a tool to relieve pressure on rookie fly-half Sam Costelow.
The centre partnership of Tompkins and North has blossomed into one of Wales’ best weapons, and it’ll be interesting to see how Gatland intends to use a different makeup of players here.
Wales v France prediction
Wales pushed both England and Scotland to the edge and gave a spirited display against Ireland. They’ve arguably showcased their winning credentials slightly more than France have.
It’ll be a scrappy affair and probably a bit devoid of free-flowing attacking rugby, and that’s the type of match that Gatland’s sides tend to excel in.
Prediction: WALES WIN
