Wales are closing in on European Championship glory after they produced another fine display to defeat France 14-6 at Cardiff Arms Park.
The victory means the Welsh will claim the title for the first time since 2010 if they win or draw in Ireland next Saturday.
Having beaten holders Scotland in the tournament opener, Wales took the lead against the French after 27 minutes when Dalton Grant raced 60 metres to score.
And the hosts extended their advantage just after the half-time interval when Joe Burke forced his way through a pile of French defenders to score near the posts.
Courtney Davies then added a spectacular third try, collecting his own grubber kick before touching down to make it 14-0 to Wales.
France finally got on the scoreboard late on when Mickael Simon scored under the sticks and William Barthau quickly landed the extras.
But it was too little, too late for the visitors, who beat Ireland in their first match in the competition but were thrashed 84-4 by England in a one-off international last Saturday.
