Taulupe Faletau insists there is "still a chance" that Wales can be crowned RBS 6 Nations champions this season.

Faletau and company will head to Edinburgh for an appointment with Scotland next weekend on the back of a 21-16 home defeat against England.

With three of their remaining four Six Nations games this term being away from home - including France in Paris later this month - Wales face a Herculean task.

But number eight Faletau has cited recent Six Nations history - the 2013 tournament - when Wales lost their opening fixture at home to Ireland, but bounced back with four successive wins and claimed silverware through a record-breaking 30-3 victory over England.

The boys were disappointed, but we will stick together and bounce back for Scotland.There is still a chance for us to win the tournament. We just need to do the hard work.

– Taulupe Faletau, Wales Number 8
