WALES are chasing a Six Nations Grand Slam and have overcome the odds to lead the pack with just ONE match remaining.
Wayne Pivac’s Dragons have secured the Triple Crown with wins over Ireland, Scotland and England and then thumped Italy to open up a nine-point lead over France.

They must close that gap to no more than five points ahead of their match with Scotland if they are to have a chance of winning the title.
