France scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili is expecting a tough encounter when his side face Wales in next weekend's RBS 6 Nations title decider in Cardiff. Les Bleus beat Italy 25-13 at the Stade de France in Paris today to set up an enthralling match against Warren Gatland's team on Saturday.

Yachvili said on BBC2: ''We know it will be very hard because Wales are very fit, we will try to do our best. First of all we are very happy to have beaten Italy today. ''All the players are trying to work as hard as possible so let's hope we try to make a good game next week.

''We will try to win and after that we will see.'"

Man of the match Aurelien Rougerie added: ''It will be a very difficult game at Cardiff, it will make a beautiful game. During the week we will work on the Wales team.''
