Now he's going to be REALLY fed up...
The unlikely possibility of Wales snatching the Championship from England by defeating the French in Paris was quickly snuffed out by the delicate skills of Lionel Nallet. The biggest man on the Parc sold the Welsh defence an extravagant dummy before galloping over for the first of his two tries. Shaun Edwards, the Welsh Defence Coach left at home following an unspecified incident at the team hotel last weekend, would have been distinctly unimpressed. For the ref to sinbin James Hook for an aggressive bit of work on his opposite number would have rubbed salt into the wound.
All in all, Gatland's charges have recovered pretty well after a disasterous opening Friday night, when their own indecision, allied to a strong forward display from the Saxons, meant that they were immediately under pressure.
Next up - the World Cup...let's just keep well away from the Fijians...
