Rob Evans relishing Wales' Six Nations battle with France

Wales prop Rob Evans is ready for the "big challenge" that awaits against France in Saturday's Six Nations finale in Cardiff.

Victory for Wales should be enough to finish second behind runaway champions Ireland.

And that runners-up spot has occupied Welsh minds this week as Warren Gatland's men look to complete a clean sweep of Six Nations home wins this season.

"It is a huge game for us," Scarlets forward Evans said. "We are just looking to put in a big performance to end the campaign.

"There is always something to prove. France always have a good pack and a big set-piece, but we pride ourselves on our own set-piece and it is a big challenge for us.

"They are renowned for their scrum. When you look at their league, it is all based around their scrums and driving mauls. They've got some big old boys over there.

"We will look to put pressure on their lineout and hopefully deliver a strong scrummaging display. It is a game we want to win, and if we do that there is a good chance we will finish second."

Wales began the tournament with an impressive bonus-point win against Scotland, but successive losses to England and Ireland derailed their title hopes, before they comfortably beat Italy.

France have not won in Cardiff since 2010, and Les Bleus will encounter a Wales side containing seven changes from last weekend, including returning players like captain Alun Wyn Jones, fly-half Dan Biggar and full-back Leigh Halfpenny.

"We have improved as a team in the last six-eight months, and we have to keep working and trying to improve," Evans added.

"It was frustrating to come off the back of two losses when we did not control the game in some areas. You have to put that behind you, learn from your mistakes and move on.
