George North says Wales are right back in the hunt for the Six Nations title after their 20-13 win over France in Paris.

Dan Biggar's second-half try and the boot of Leigh Halfpenny earned the Welsh their second win from three games following their opening day loss to England.

"We are still alive and still in the hunt for the championship," North, who became the youngest player to reach 50 Test caps, told the BBC. "It's quite exciting."

The win was Wales' fourth consecutive success over France, a record North hailed as "exceptional".

North missed the win over Scotland last time out due to head injury protocol. Asked if he had been angry to miss the match at Murrayfield, North said: "I think angry was bit of an understatement.

"The pride in the jersey is massive for the boys and myself included. It's nice to be back in a Welsh jersey and be part of a great win."

Wales boss Warren Gatland felt his side were well worth the victory.

"I thought the boys were outstanding," he said. "The forwards were sensational. We deserved to win."
