🏉 Exciting times for Welsh rugby as coach Steve Tandy faces some intense selection dilemmas ahead of the Six Nations opener against England! With players gathering at the Vale Hotel, Tandy is juggling top talents, especially at the critical number 10 position.
🔟 Dan Edwards, currently holding the jersey, has shown promise but faces tough competition from a revitalised Sam Costelow, who’s been in spectacular form for the Scarlets. Fans can expect a thrilling battle as both aim to secure the starting role at Twickenham.
🤔 In the midfield, Tandy needs to strategise between prioritising defence or attack. Owen Watkin’s defensive prowess offers a safe option, while dynamic choices like Joe Hawkins and Ben Thomas bring attacking flair. Will Tandy unleash the powerhouses, or play it safe against England’s physical threat?
🌟 Mason Grady is another star to watch. The 23-year-old brings size and power but consistency is key. How Tandy integrates him could be pivotal. Meanwhile, could dynamic Louis Rees-Zammit find himself at full-back for more involvement in the game?
💪 The backrow needs the perfect balance to counter England’s explosive lineup. Aaron Wainwright and Olly Cracknell are poised to provide physicality, but the fiercely performing Harri Deaves and Josh Macleod also offer tantalising options.
🔧 Who anchors the scrum? With tighthead prop being a challenge, Tomas Francis returns, bringing experience despite recent play in France’s second tier. His performance could be vital against a formidable English pack.
Stay tuned for what promises to be an electrifying selection showdown and an intense championship kickoff against England! 🏆🏉🔥
