George North believes that Wales' unity was the major factor in their victory over France in the Six Nations.

In a closely-contested game, the teams were level at 6-6 before North broke the deadlock, taking his chance superbly by gathering Dan Biggar's kick and touching down before Leigh Halfpenny converted before adding a penalty. "A lot of hard work led up to it, and then there was a bit of vision from 'Bigs' and then it came off at the end with a nice bounce for me and I was in at the corner," added North. "It was a little bit of panic stations at first, but then I was lucky to get the bounce and I put it over the line. "There is still a lot to play for and a lot to achieve for us. We went blow for blow with France - a lot of pressure came through from both teams - and we came through pretty well."
