🚨 Big Changes Needed for Wales vs. France! 🚨
After a tough 48-7 defeat to England, it’s time to shake things up for the clash against France! Former Wales internationals, Richie Rees and Scott Williams, are calling on Steve Tandy to rethink his strategy and make some crucial changes. 🏉
Here’s what they’re suggesting:
1. **Positional Swap:** Eddie James at 12 instead of 13. The experts believe he’s wasted in the outside channel and should be closer to the action and the fly-half, where he can use his strength to break through defences.
2. **New Starters:** Get Mason Grady and Rhys Carre on the starting line-up! These powerful players could change the game early on, preventing France from gaining any early advantage.
The duo shared their thoughts on the latest Scrum V podcast, where they broke down why keeping such a big player like Eddie in the outside channel could be a risk, especially against a quick and agile French side. 🇫🇷
Williams said, “It’s all about getting over that gain line and putting pressure on the opposition. Eddie needs to be in a position where he can do that effectively.”
Rees added, “Against a strong French team, you need athletes who can handle intense pressure. Getting Grady and Carre involved from the start can make all the difference.”
With the match set at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on February 15, all eyes will be on Wales to see if they can bounce back strong. 🏆
