How can Wales win the Six Nations and can they still triumph if they lose to France?

WALES are chasing a Six Nations Grand Slam and have defied the odds to lead the pack at the midway point.

Wayne Pivac’s Dragons have secured the Triple Crown with wins over Ireland, Scotland and England, meaning only Italy and France stand in their way.

How can Wales win the Six Nations?

If, as expected, Wales triumph against Italy in Rome, any win against France in the final weekend would be enough to see them lift the trophy.

Victory in Paris would also ensure the Welsh picked up the Grand Slam for the second time in three years.


Can Wales win the Six Nations if they lose to France?

Yes. So long as France do not win against both England and Scotland, Wales will have a chance of winning the Six Nations.

The French are the biggest threat but currently sit five points behind Wales and have already played whipping boys Italy.

Scotland could also mathematically win the Six Nations should they win all their three remaining matches.
