Wales’ Guinness Six Nations Grand Slam hopes ended with a dramatic 32-30 defeat against France in Paris.
They can still win the title, but Les Bleus could snatch it from them by recording a comprehensive victory over Scotland next Friday.
Here, the PA news agency looks at five things to emerge from Wales’ Six Nations campaign.

Wales skipper Alun Wyn Jones will be 36 in September, but there is no sign of him slowing down any time soon. With a world record 157 Test match appearances under his belt, he continues to clock on for shift after shift, leading from the front and hitting performance levels that never dip. Jones’ existing contract with the Welsh Rugby Union and Ospreys expires at the end of this season, yet he looks to have plenty more left in the tank amid shortening odds of him captaining the British and Irish Lions against South Africa this summer.
