🏉 Exciting times ahead for Wales Rugby! 🏉
Big news from the camp: Wales is on the hunt for a new defence coach, aiming for a summer appointment. Under Head Coach Steve Tandy, the team has struggled defensively, conceding 34 tries in just his first five matches. Tandy, who previously served as Scotland’s defence coach, is eager to bolster the coaching staff ahead of the upcoming Nations Championship.
Right now, Dan Lydiate is lending a hand temporarily, but Tandy is keen to add a permanent fixture to his team alongside attack coach Matt Sherratt and forwards coach Danny Wilson. The goal? Strengthening Wales’ defence without spreading Tandy too thin as he juggles his head coach duties.
And yes, the Six Nations is just around the corner, running from February 5 to March 14, and Wales will face formidable opponents in the Nations Championship like Fiji, Argentina, and South Africa. Tandy admits balancing the head coach and defensive duties has been a challenge but remains optimistic about Wales’ potential.
Amidst it all, Tandy has thrown his support behind captain Dewi Lake, defending him from criticism especially after a tough lineout against England. He emphasised the complexity of the game and the importance of understanding the full context before passing judgment.
Stay tuned for updates as Wales gears up with determination to make the nation proud. 🏆
