🏉 Wales is already gearing up for the Rugby World Cup, and while there are some stars already destined to shine, there’s a bit of a puzzle to solve in a few positions! With just 16 months until the big event Down Under, eyes are on Steve Tandy to work his magic.
🔒 Six players are pretty much set to feature prominently: Jac Morgan, Tomas Francis, Dafydd Jenkins, Aaron Wainwright, Tomos Williams, and Louis Rees-Zammit are poised to give it their all on the field. These names have certainly made their mark, showing grit and skill in the Six Nations.
🔧 But where’s the catch? There are some tricky spots that need more depth. The tighthead prop position is a bit of a head-scratcher at the moment. With Francis taking a breather and Archie Griffin out of action, it’s a race to see who can fill those big boots. Kieron Assiratti and newbies like Ben Warren might just be the answers!
⏳ At scrum-half, Tomos Williams brings the flair, but who else can match his tempo? The likes of Kieran Hardy and Reuben Morgan-Williams are good regional options, but the spotlight is on the new talent like Che Hope, hoping to make waves on the international scene.
🌟 And then there’s the full-back conundrum. Replacing the likes of Liam Williams and Leigh Halfpenny has been no small task. Speedster Louis Rees-Zammit has been holding the fort, but many are calling for Blair Murray to step up and make that position his own.
It’s a fascinating time for Welsh rugby, with some clear stars but also areas that need a masterstroke from Tandy. What’s your take on the squad? Can these players tackle the upcoming challenges and make us proud? Share your thoughts below! 🦄🏆 #WelshRugby #RWC2027
