🏉 Wales Rugby Update: Steve Tandy Considers Specialist Coach! 🏉
Ready for the upcoming Six Nations, Wales is looking to boost their aerial game, and head coach Steve Tandy is open to bringing in a specialist coach for this crucial aspect of play. With changes in rugby law making contestable kicks a bigger deal, Tandy believes that focusing on the aerial aspect could give Wales that winning edge.
During his first campaign, the team showed promise with this strategy, especially against New Zealand, and it’s now set to be a pivotal component of their attack again. With players like Gabriel Hamer-Webb, Josh Adams, Tom Rogers, and Louis Rees-Zammit all comfortable under the high ball, Tandy is optimistic.
While current coaching duties are shared among temporary staff, Tandy reassures fans that the squad is well-prepared. He’s also drawing inspiration from other sports, like football, where specialist coaches have become a norm. Tandy’s all about embracing new ideas — whether that means looking to football, Aussie Rules, or even Gaelic football to enhance skills and strategies.
There have been some concerns about Blair Murray’s recent performance under the high ball, but Tandy is playing down fears. With Rees-Zammit also being a viable option for the full-back position, Tandy emphasises that aerial challenges are now a team-wide focus — you win some, you lose some, but you train to adapt and overcome.
The Six Nations opener next month will be a true test of these tactics. One thing’s for sure, Tandy is committed to evolving the Welsh game with innovative coaching strategies. Let’s see if this fresh approach pays off on the field! 🏆
