It may be Paris fashion week but Wales are not dealing in frills or fripperies. Hard graft remains the name of the game as they completed two tough training sessions before their game against Georgia this weekend, determined to finish top of Pool C and sustain the feelgood momentum they have been building.

If the non-participation of their bench scrum-half Gareth Davies forced some temporary readjustments, with the fly-halves Dan Biggar and Sam Costelow required to fill in at nine, the shared drive to achieve significant knockout progress remains as strong as ever. Should they go on to win a quarter-final against either Argentina or Japan all eyes will be very much on them.
