🏉 Excitement is in the air as the Six Nations kicks off! England’s Sam Underhill is backing his old Ospreys mates amidst uncertain times for the team. The Ospreys, who played a key role in Sam’s development, face potential cuts by the Welsh Rugby Union. Sam reflected emotionally on his time with them, appreciating the opportunities they afforded him and empathizing with their current plight. “They’re a phenomenal club,” he shared, lamenting the thought of losing a team of such significance.
On the leadership front, Steve Tandy steps up for Wales in his first Six Nations match as coach. Wales captain Dewi Lake is optimistic about Tandy’s robust defensive strategy, aimed at countering England’s force at Twickenham. Despite the challenges, Lake praises Tandy as a “great man and incredible coach”.
But there’s a twist! Eddie Jones, the former England coach, predicts today’s Wales vs. England match could get “ugly” if his old team gains momentum early on. With both sides share a bit of historic rivalry spirit, the performance could swing either way!
Meanwhile, Italy is not to be overlooked! Captain Michele Lamaro believes the Azzurri can no longer be underestimated as they prepare to tackle Scotland. Italy has had some remarkable performances lately, and Lamaro is eager to continue this upward trend, dreaming big for the tournament.
Every team has its eyes on victory, and it’s all about dreaming, believing, and playing their hearts out. Stay tuned for nail-biting action and unforgettable moments on the pitch! 🏆🏟️
