Wales kept their championship hopes alive with a 20-13 win against France in Paris.

England are ahead of the Welsh on points difference after losing 19-9 in Dublin to Ireland, who are the only side with a 100% record with two matches to go.

Six Nations Catch-Up: The best action from week three

Wales have won the title after losing the opening game in the past - bouncing back after an opening 30-22 defeat by Ireland in 2013.

However, Ireland and England have much better point differences than Wales' +5.

The championship leaders are on +40 while England are +25.

Clermont Auvergne centre Davies believes there is hope for a repeat of the 2013 championship, and warned there is more to come from Wales.

"I think the longer we stay together, we get better," he said.

"I think we can improve vastly, if we keep working on what was good [against France] and cut out the errors."
