In a game where Wales' backs were starved of possession for long periods, centre Tom Shanklin gave his side plenty of go-forward against France.
The 29-year-old Cardiff Blue was lucky to escape a yellow card for taking out Imanol Harinordoquy in the air but his break set up Lee Byrne's first-half try.
His ball-carrying strength got him over the gain line on numerous occasions and he may get the chance to make up for his injury heartbreak on the 2005 Lions tour.
VERDICT: Pushing hard for a berth as Lions outside centre.
