π Wales Rugby Fans, get ready for action this Saturday as Steve Tandy names his starting lineup to face Japan in their second autumn fixture. Minimal changes to last week’s squad with just four new faces and some positional tweaks – all eyes are on Louis Rees-Zammit who makes his return to the starting lineup. The decision was a no-brainer for Tandy, thanks to Rees-Zammit’s outstanding training performance and proven brilliance on the field. π

Olly Cracknell, a standout with Leicester, is set to make his first start, bringing his robust experience to the fore. Meanwhile, the front-row switches aim to maintain the energy until the final whistle, with high hopes pinned on the likes of Carre and Assiratti, who were stellar last weekend.

The squad has a big job on its hands, especially with Jac Morgan out due to injury. He’s a powerhouse both as a player and leader, but Dewi takes up the mantle, ready to keep the team spirit soaring. πͺ

Tandy acknowledges the challenges ahead, especially with 12 out of the 23-man squad playing outside Wales, but the focus remains on Saturday’s battle against Japan. The team needs to tackle the fast-paced, sharp style of the Brave Blossoms head-on. The emphasis is on growing as a squad, keeping an eye on the world rankings without letting it overshadow the ultimate goal: performance.
With world-class opponents lined up, including the All Blacks and South Africa, this weekend’s game is crucial for momentum. π Our eyes are set on learning, adapting, and, above all, winning. The excitement surrounds not only the game but also players like Rees-Zammit, who continues to evolve, bringing newfound maturity and dynamism to the squad.
It’s all set to be an exciting clash β letβs back our boys in red! Show your support and cheer for Wales! π΄ββ οΈπ
