Exciting times ahead for Welsh rugby! Steve Tandy is about to unveil his first squad as Wales head coach, gearing up for autumn battles against Argentina, Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa. At world number 12, Wales broke their losing streak with a win over Japan, and Tandy is set on keeping the momentum going.
He’s already shaking things up by bringing in coaches Danny Wilson and Matt Sherratt, and they’ve been popping up at training sessions across all four Welsh regional sides. This fresh approach is a hit with players and coaches alike. Unlike some past coaches, Tandy is making it a point to connect with the regional teams.
Dragons coach Filo Tiatia loves the new collaborative vibe, saying it’s great to see the national coaches engaging with everyone. Aaron Wainwright, Wales’ number eight, also appreciates this personal touch, and is eager to see what Tandy will bring to the squad.
Alongside Wilson and Sherratt, Tandy has enlisted former Wales stars like Rhys Patchell, Dan Lydiate, and Duncan Jones to bolster his backroom team. This infusion of Welsh talent into the coaching staff is seen as a huge plus—Scarlets head coach Dwayne Peel highlights how this exposure will lift the game in Wales.
There’s a real buzz around Tandy’s inclusive approach and commitment to building strong ties with regional teams. Fingers crossed for an exciting season ahead! #WalesRugby #SteveTandy #RugbyRevival 🏉✨
