Warren Gatland’s record breakers made it 12 victories in-a-row to keep their Grand Slam tilt on track, but there was no time to celebrate for Tomas Francis, who returned to Exeter Chiefs with all the bragging rights.

Wales are the only unbeaten side left in this year’s Championship ahead of two huge fixtures against Scotland and Ireland. But Francis believes there is much more to come from Gatland’s men in the final two games.

“The atmosphere is the squad is amazing,” he said. “We know we still haven’t put together an 80-minute performance yet. We are excited for when we can finally do that. The first two games, we knew it wasn’t us. We finally got to play in front of the crowd and show more of us.

“In the first two we didn’t play well at all, we fired a few shots against England but there is a lot left in the tank and we’ve won three. It’s a good place to be in. We’ve got two tough games to come.

Murrayfield is always a tough place to go and then it is Ireland at home, we will take them one at a time.”

Francis relished his return to Sandy Park after getting the upper hand on club mates Ben Moon, Jack Nowell, Henry Slade, Harry Williams and Alec Hepburn over the weekend. But Francis is already relishing the opportunity to link back up with his Wales brothers to create more history.

“We have belief in each and every one of the squad, you believe in the man next to you. Whoever comes on the pitch, whoever of the 37, we believe in each other. That’s why we enjoy being there.

“We’ll just take one game at a time. It is Sale away first for me and then Scotland away. We just need to keep building as a squad. There are 37 players ready to play and it is a great place to be We just want to keep winning game by game and enjoying each other’s company. We like being together in camp and we enjoy down in the team room.”
