France v Wales (20:15 GMT)

Philippe Saint-Andre
Former France coach on BBC Radio Wales

The [French] guys are very focussed, they expect to win the Six Nations, but for this it is very important to win the first game.

Friday night I’m sure will be a cracking game against a Welsh team with a lot of surprises.

You see Toulouse and Bordeaux, they win all their games, we have La Rochelle…French rugby is very very strong, Fabien Galthie can have 50-55 top quality players.

When I was coach in 2011 to 2015 we could not beat Wales, it was your fantastic generation, we were losing all the time, but now you have a young team, not too much confidence and this French team is very confident.

We respect the Welsh team.
