CARDIFF, Wales — Wales sealed a second-place finish in the Six Nations by holding off France to win 14-13 in a battle of attrition on Saturday. Francois Trinh-Duc missed a simple penalty attempt in the 69th minute for what proved to be France’s last chance to squeeze in front at the Principality Stadium. The visitors also had the opportunity to finish second with a win in Cardiff, but instead ended up fourth. The flyhalf dropped a goal in the fourth minute to put France 3-0 ahead, then made the mistake seconds later that led to Wales’ only try. Halfpenny missed with the conversion but booted two penalties to put Wales 11-3 up.
