π Exciting news, rugby fans! Wales is gearing up for their clash against title favourites France this Sunday with some strategic changes in the line-up. After last week’s tough 48-7 defeat to England, Coach Steve Tandy is wasting no time refining the team.


π Expect new faces in the back-row and midfield. Joe Hawkins and Olly Cracknell are set to step in for Ben Thomas and Josh Macleod. This tactical switch aims to reinforce Wales’ attack and defence, making the team tougher on the gainline.

π₯ Olly Cracknell, who impressed in the Gallagher Premiership, is ready to make his mark again following a minor setback that kept him out against England. Meanwhile, Joe Hawkins, known for his playmaking and ball-carrying abilities, brings fresh vigour to the midfield.
π While most of the starting XV remains unchanged, the front-row might see adjustments. Tandy is weighing his options, but it’s likely the trio of Nicky Smith, Dewi Lake, and Archie Griffin will get another shot. Any changes here would mostly affect the props, with Rhys Carre, Ryan Elias, and Tomas Francis waiting in the wings.
π Will these changes help Wales turn the tide against France? Only time will tell, but it’s shaping up to be a thrilling face-off! Keep cheering and letβs rally behind our team! #WalesRugby #SixNations #TeamUpdates π’π΄
