Put yourself for a moment in the boots of France full-back Benjamin Fall in last weekend's match against Wales in Cardiff. Leigh Halfpenny, collecting a slightly harried pass from Taulupe Faletau, thumps a clearing kick back over halfway into French territory.

Fall could cover the kick to his right but there is no need: Francois Trinh-Duc is there, ready and waiting.

France are right in this contest, down by a point at 14-13, the chance of a third NatWest Six Nations win in a row within reach after defeating Italy and England.

This could be the counter-attack to open Wales up, or to at least force a penalty. Opportunity beckons.

Gael Fickou, scorer of a fine individual try in the first half, is also back there. France can counter. Fall waits, ready to make another dangerous carry.
