‘It’s a lack of respect,’ says
France coach Fabian GalthiéWales make two changes from side that lost to IrelandThe entente between France and Wales has turned distinctly uncordiale before Saturday’s meeting between the sides in Cardiff. The hosts fired the first shot by accusing Les Bleus of cheating in the scrums and the Six Nations leaders responded by calling them childish.
The Wales loosehead prop Wyn Jones used the word cheat on Tuesday when he said how his side’s attempts to abide by the regulations in the scrum and remaining square on the drive were being undermined by opposition tightheads getting away with boring in and destabilising the set-piece.
Ireland and France came in for special mention, with the latter accused of wilfully flouting the rules.
