Cardiff will play host as France are looking to keep up their winning streak while Wales will hope to move from fifth spot<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

WALES are up against France this weekend in a must win game for the home side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They face a French side who are flying high at the top of the Six Nations<\/a> table but let\u2019s see what chances both sides have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wales<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Welsh side are going into the next fixture off the back of two losses and one win from the tournament so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their previous fixture against England they narrowly lost 23-19 in a thrilling game but a poor first half cost Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wales player Nick Tompkins said to the BBC after the England loss: \u201cWe need to be more consistent, it can\u2019t just be a 10-minute spell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some difficult squad decisions for Wales coach Wayne Pivac to make ahead of the team selection on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coach had released Wales winger Louis Rees-Zammit before the England game which enabled him to get some game time for his club side Gloucester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
