CARDIFF -- Wales gave a two-time defending champions response to a demoralizing defeat by whipping France 27-6 and keeping its Six Nations title defence alive on Friday. Nike Air Max 95 Discount Cheap . So shaken to the core was Wales by its 26-3 demolition from Ireland, the only unbeaten team left in the championship, that coach Warren Gatland warned his British Lions-laden side that careers were on the line under the Millennium Stadium roof. The players answer was a robust performance of power, pace and poise, adding up to a third straight win over France last achieved 42 years ago. "That was the response we were looking for," captain Sam Warburton said. "We knew we had it in us." He admitted playing for their jobs was also an incentive. "We said in the week that we dont want to take our places for granted. We have probably worked our hardest in the last two weeks," he said. Stand-in centre George North scored after five minutes and fullback Leigh Halfpennys boot punished frequent French errors and a second-rate scrum with five penalties that propped up a 20-6 halftime lead. When Warburton reached out to plant the ball on the line in the 64th, the score became Wales biggest win over France at home since 1950. That margin will be vital in terms of points difference in the standings if Wales, which jumped over previously unbeaten France into second place, can stay on track and Ireland lose somewhere. The Irish are at Twickenham on Saturday. Wales performance wasnt assured beforehand, certainly not after lock Alun-Wyn Jones, who captained the Lions in their series-clinching win in Australia last year, withdrew just before the match with a foot injury. That gave a second Welshman, Jake Ball, his first test start beside scrumhalf Rhys Webb, whose zippy pass was a big factor in Wales frantic start. Five minutes in, lineout ball was spread left and inside centre Jamie Roberts drew two defenders. North gave Halfpenny an overlap and he chipped ahead. France fullback Bruce Dulin claimed the ball just before the tryline, but he was accidentally clipped in the head by teammate Jean-Marc Doussain and dropped the ball, which North pounced on in goal. Halfpenny couldnt convert. He seemed to kick only the hardest goalkicks, and France kept giving him chances, especially from a scrum that Wales eventually got on top of. Captain Pascal Pape conceded the second penalty from a ruck, and tighthead prop Nicolas Mas the third for slipping in a scrum. Wesley Fofana was milked by North in a ruck for Halfpennys fourth, and a tighthead conceded just before halftime ended up giving Halfpenny his fifth penalty. Moments before then, referee Alain Rolland told both captains the scrum was a mess and threatened to dish out cards. He upheld his promise in the 50th, sin-binning Mas and counterpart Gethin Jenkins. By then, Wales was in charge and the outmuscled French had few options. "It was a catastrophic first half, our discipline was poor, and we gave away too many penalties," France coach Philippe Saint-Andre said. "We were totally apathetic in the first half." Dulin said, "They got on top of us very quickly and we couldnt pull ourselves together. We didnt go about things the right way. "We didnt start the game well and they just gained in confidence. After their match against Ireland they really wanted to put their foot down." France had a try rightfully disallowed early in the first half for a knockon, but the backs received no ball and didnt go close again until the 50th, when centre Mathieu Bastareaud slipped North and was stopped just short of the tryline, and couldnt offload to Dulin or winger Hugo Bonneval. The French backs were more involved in the second half, but Wales defence was smothering. Frustrated No. 8 Louis Picamoles got himself sin-binned in the 62nd and Wales took advantage. From a Roberts barging run up the middle, Warburton charged off a ruck and just managed in a double tackle with an outstretched arm to put the ball on the line. With 10 minutes to go, Wales substituted Adam Jones and Jenkins, Ball, Dan Lydiate, Webb, Rhys Priestland and Halfpenny, and all were cheered off as returning heroes deserve to be.

While Jurgen Klopp laughed and joked in the home dugout, the Spaniard cut a stern figure on the touchline, as Liverpool pulled his 10-man team apart in the second-half.The hosts were already 2-0 up when Ramiro Funes Mori saw red for an ugly challenge on Divock Origi on 50 minutes and from there on it was an exhibition from Liverpool, with Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho rounding off a miserable night for Everton. Here, we look at the talking points from the match…Martinez feeling the heat Roberto Martinez told Sky Sports Evertons defeat to Liverpool was embarrassing It was a horrible, horrible showing… Its a feeling of embarrassment. Roberto Martinez, so often eager to put a positive spin on his Everton teams defeats, could not hide his disappointment at this heavy loss to Liverpool. The Spaniard had gone into the game under pressure and this result and performance has only served to exacerbate the situation.Thats an embarrassing defeat, an embarrassing performance and if he gets something similar against Manchester United [in Saturdays FA Cup semi-final] I think its difficult for him to come back, said Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher. Liverpool on top Liverpool are unbeaten in the last 11 Premier League Merseyside derbies (W4 D7 L0). The numbers dont make for good reading. Liverpool had 37 attempts on goal to Evertons three. The visitors didnt force Simon Mignolet into a single save. The Reds also enjoyed 67 per cent possession and had 64 touches in the opposition box. On only three occasions did one of Martinezs players touch the ball in the Liverpool box. Everton didnt manage a single shot on target.It was one of the most one-sided derbies in recent times - although Liverpool did also beat Everton 4-0 in January 2014. Martinez was manager of Everton that day, too.Now Martinez has to find a way to lift the spirits of his players for their trip to Wembley this weekend. His future tenure as Everton manager could depend on it. He said himself it was a defining four or five days, said Carragher. The first half of that has been a disaster for him. How can he pick them up now and go again?Everton dealt FA Cup blows John Stones was forced off with stomach cramps As if a thrashing at the hands of your rivals was not bad enough preparation for a major Wembley fixture, Everton are facing a defensive crisis for their FA Cup semi-final.Ramiro Funes Mori will be suspended, following his straight red card. John Stones was forced to leave the pitch in the second half with stomach cramps. Thats in addition to Seamus Coleman and Phil Jagielka, who are both struggling with hamstring problems.Muhamed Besic and James McCarthy finished the game at centre-half for Everton at Anfield, and Martinez may well be forced into playing another inexperienced pairing in defence on Saturday.Funes Mori sees red Ramiro Funes Mori grabbed the Everton badge as he left the pitch During his time with River Plate in Argentina, Funes Mori played and scored against arch rivals Boca Juniors in a Superclasico Copa Libertadores final, so the notion that hed get carried away in this fixture seems an odd one. But, with his team seemingly reeling from a half-time dressing down from the management, the 25-year-old made an ugly challenge on Origi and was rightfully dismissed.Referee Robert Madley at first drew a yellow card from his pocket, beforre appearing to be advised by assistant that the challenge warranted a more severe punishment. Cheap Air Max 95 Free Shipping. It was a decision Carragher in the Sky Sports studio agreed with, although he was critical of Funes Moris reaction to his dismissal. Merseyside derby dismissals There have now been 21 red cards in the Merseyside derby in Premier League history, more than any other fixture (14 Everton, 7 Liverpool). He has let himself down with the challenge, said the former Liverpool defender. It happens in football. Ive made bad challenges and other players have made bad challenges, but going off the pitch he was kissing his badge to the Everton fans.Why was he kissing the badge? Number one, he has only been here for two minutes and number two, why is he playing to the crowd? Because hes injured a Liverpool player? Are they going to be happy with that?They were getting battered in the game and hes now going to miss the biggest game of the season when theyve got Jagielka out. Its embarrassing. What is he doing? Everton fans wont fall for that nonsense. It was the only challenge anyone put in by the way, but it was a bad one.Liverpool on a roll Liverpool have won their last four fixtures across all competitions Regardless of how many changes Jurgen Klopp makes, Liverpool keep on winning. Despite 10 changes at Bournemouth and nine on Wednesday, the Reds have now notched up four victories in a row across all competitions - with an aggregate score of 14-5.With a Europa League semi-final on Thursday, expect further changes for the visit of Rafa Benitezs Newcastle to Anfield this weekend. But the momentum is with Klopps squad right now, and Liverpools former manager Benitez will face a huge test with his relegation-threatened side.Against Everton, Liverpool impressed from front to back, but Mamadou Sakho, Philippe Coutinho and James Milner deserve special credit. Milner on song James Milner has recorded 11 assists in 2016 in all competitions, three more than any other PL player. The latter was imperious at the back, aggressive in the opposition box and careful in possession. His Brazilian colleague had 116 touches (almost twice as many as any Everton player), fired nine shots at goal and recorded six key passes.However, Milner took home the man of the match prize after registering two assists in one game for just the second time in his Premier League career. The previous occasion came just 10 days earlier at Stoke.Klopp has got his Liverpool squad firing at the business end of the season. Origi injury opens the door for Sturridge Daniel Sturridge scored his 50th Liverpool goal Despite the win, Klopp conceded he could not be 100 per cent happy with the outcome, given Origis injury. The 21-year-old Belgian appeared to have established himself has his managers first-choice forward and, after his first-half goal against Everton made it five in five games, all was going to plan.However, Funes Moris challenge saw Origi leave the field on a stretcher and, while the full extent of his ankle problem is yet to be revealed, there are concerns he could be set for an extended period on the sidelines.That presents an opportunity for Daniel Sturridge. The England striker grabbed a goal and attempted to claim Coutinhos after replacing Origi and he is now in a position to stake a claim for a regular starting spot. Divock Origi was stretchered off with an ankle injury Sturridges cool finish made it 50 goals in 87 games for Liverpool - only Fernando Torres has reached the milestone in quicker time for the Reds during the Premier League era. However, Carragher says Sturridge still has work to do to ensure he is part of Klopps plans going forward.That record hes got shows the quality of Daniel Sturridge, said Carragher. Hes an unbelievable striker. But hes got to think to himself, why am I not in this team? Its not an unbelievable Liverpool team. The fact hes not playing is something that has to sink in.
