The Western Mail's Andy Howell believes Wales can end the Six Nations on a high with an impressive victory over France in Paris.
"Judging by the words which have been coming out of the Wales camp in the last 72 hours, you would think there couldn’t be a worse time to be facing France in Paris.
"Warren Gatland’s players have been lining up to tell us Marc Lievremont’s Les Bleus will come out with “guns blazing” and like “wounded animals” tonight as they seek to redress the Rome balance.
"A typically negative Welsh response, in my view, to the biggest upset in Six Nations history.
"I take the opposite viewpoint. France, on the back of their shock 22-21 defeat to Italy, are there for the taking tonight.
"Instead of talking up the French, Wales should be focusing upon their own positives, for there are many of those for this clash.
"Since moving James Hook to 10 up in Scotland, Wales have won three games on the bounce and are more than capable of making it four this evening.
"They are full of confidence and know they have yet to fire properly in this tournament. If they do in Paris, France could be made to pay."
