Wales is in dire need of some muscle up front if they want to steer clear of another Wooden Spoon in the Six Nations. After a tough autumn, where they only claimed one win out of four Tests, it’s time to rethink their approach. With England as their opening match, facing a juggernaut pack could be daunting. Enter Ross Moriarty, the 31-year-old Ospreys bruiser who might just be the answer.
Moriarty, capped 54 times for Wales and a 2017 British & Irish Lion, is the kind of no-nonsense enforcer who can hold his ground and win those crucial collisions. He’s been in fine form at Ospreys, even earning high praise from head coach Mark Jones who said, “Ross has got a huge amount to offer.”
Despite missing out on head coach Steve Tandy’s autumn squad, there’s a case for bringing this powerhouse back into the fold to bolster Wales’ pack strength. Moriarty’s move to Brive in 2023 seemed to mark his international swan song, but his return to the Ospreys has reignited hopes.
Jones adds, “There might’ve been doubts about his return, but Ross has exceeded expectations at every turn.” With a blockbuster performance against the Scarlets on Boxing Day, Moriarty could just muscle his way into Tandy’s plans.
If Wales are serious about stepping up their game, they might just need Moriarty’s might in the mix. Keep your eyes peeled Blue wall, this could be a game-changer! 💪🏉
