Enghien-les-Bains - Wales lock Luke Charteris says Saturday's Six Nations clash against France is a pressure match as both sides desperately need to win.
Wales have won their last three in a row against France, including a 16-6 victory the last time they met at the Stade de France in Paris, two years ago when they won the Six Nations despite losing their opening match at home to Ireland.
But with both sides having already lost once -- Wales were beaten 21-16 at home to England in their opening match while two weeks ago France fell 18-11 to Ireland in Dublin -- defeat on Saturday would mean the end of their championship hopes.
