Follow all the action as Wales attempt to clinch the Grand Slam when they take on France in the Six Nations.
Wayne Pivac’s side have been in fine form, defeating Ireland on the opening weekend before Louis Rees-Zammit starred in a dramatic 25-24 victory against Scotland. Then came an impressive punishment of an ill-disciplined England side to clinch the Triple Crown before a crushing win against Italy. They have not always been at their fluid best, but have consistently managed to grind out victories and know a fifth Grand Slam in the Six Nations era is within their grasp. “We have a lot of experience to call on and that is a great place to be,” said Pivac. “That means they can focus on a performance and not be worried by external motivation. We know we are nowhere near perfect, but we have built as we have gone on, worked very hard and we are focused and motivated.”
France can still win the competition themselves, though, provided they secure a bonus point or deny Wales one. After defeating Italy and Ireland, Fabien Galthie’s side were thrown into disarray by an outbreak of coronavirus, which caused their match against Scotland to be postponed. Les Bleus have a dizzying array of talent at their disposal and start as favourites, despite suffering a last-gasp defeat at the hands of Maro Itoje last time out. Follow all the action live below:
