Our captain, Dewi Lake, is feeling the weight of the world. Maybe it’s time to reconsider his role to ease that pressure. Why not hand the reins to a veteran like Adam Beard or a budding leader like Dafydd Jenkins?

The pack faced a tough challenge, and with France’s power, we need to make strategic changes. Bring Ross Moriarty back for his aggression and ability to carry the ball. Try Cracknell at No. 8 and Aaron Wainwright on the openside. Let’s pack some punch!

In the backline, Ben Thomas has taken some heat, but it’s tough playing on the back foot. We might need more physicality there—perhaps shifting James to inside centre and Owen Watkin at 13 for defence and strength.

Louis Rees-Zammit, despite facing challenges at Twickenham, showed promise and should stay at full-back. He’s our most dangerous player and needs room to work his magic.

The key against France? Tighten discipline, master our set-piece, and play smart rugby. We can’t afford mistakes in the French half! Let’s find our play style, make impactful gains, and capitalise on individual matchups with Rees-Zammit.

Sam Warburton believes there are a couple of wins this year. We’ve seen glimmers of potential. Improved performance is essential against France—it’s our springboard for success in upcoming matches!

Let’s rally behind the team! They need our support, and we can’t let the French fans drown us out at home. Here’s to a strong performance to build on! 🏆💪
