PARIS (Reuters) - As thrilling as France's 32-30 Six Nations win over Wales was, the game also exposed Les Bleus' weaknesses for the first time since Fabien Galthie took over as coach last year.

France came from 10 points and a man down to beat Grand-Slam chasing Wales with a Brice Dulin try two minutes after the end of normal time, giving them a chance to win the championship with a bonus-victory against Scotland on Friday.
