Welsh center George North has said that sealing the Grand Slam against France next weekend will prove to be one of the memorable moments of his career.
Following the Grand Slam successes in 2012 and 2019, the North Six Nations are chasing a third clean sweep and were also part of the team that won the title in 2013.
Wells made the change after winning three of 10 games in 2020.
“It would be decent to add the 2021 story after last year,” North said.
“This is a mental year for all, from the Fall Series to the Saturdays that we are playing.
“We know we have to be ready and how powerful France is. To get to that next level we have to be at our best, we really have to improve our game. “
After finishing fifth in the Six Nations last season and entering the same spot in the Fall Nations Cup, some people may have found themselves in this position in favor of Wayne Pivack.
What a change. With Ireland beating Scotland at Murrayfield, only France can now give Wales a chance to win the Six Nations title as the Blues need two wins, and at least one to stand a chance to win with bonus points. Wayne Pivack’s team.
Wales can end the Grand Slam in Paris next weekend after winning their first four games and already equaling the tournament record of 17 games.
North was central to success after being replaced by a midfielder winger and celebrating the International 100th Welsh during the campaign.
“There wasn’t a lot of hype about us after the show dropped, which is always good because we like to lose,” North said.
“People worked hard and hard during the Six Nations game, which is actually coming true now.
“We are a long way from completing the article as it is right now, but we still have to overcome some of the positive aspects of this performance against Italy and focus fully on it next week.”
Pivac has so far spent both games against France, with the Blues looking to face a 23–20 loss to England.
Former France defense manager Sean Edwards is also in his ranks.
“We know how physically they are, we know a lot about their defense against a certain man,” North said.
“The way they attack us with real talent, we know that we have to live with our courage on Saturday.
He said, ‘They are in good condition at the moment. The physical and defensive have progressed a lot and their attacking style is really powerful. We know that we have to be one step ahead in every aspect of our game. “
