🏉 Rugby fans, what a weekend it’s been! England dominated Wales in their Six Nations opener with a commanding 48-7 victory at Twickenham. It was a tough watch for Welsh supporters as the team struggled with discipline, racking up four yellow cards. With France looming next, the road to their first victory since March 2023 seems increasingly daunting.
Former England star Chris Ashton sparked debate by suggesting Wales might benefit from playing in a second-tier tournament to rebuild confidence and experience. He believes facing teams like Georgia, Tonga, and Samoa could set the stage for a stronger Welsh comeback to the top tier.
Meanwhile, former Wales international Emyr Lewis is calling for urgent changes to the squad ahead of the clash with France. He suggests beefing up the team with the likes of Owen Watkin and Ollie Cracknell to counter the formidable French pack.
But it’s not just Wales feeling the pressure. Scotland’s Gregor Brown expressed his determination to bounce back against England after their frustrating loss to Italy in Rome. Despite a rocky start, the Scots are gearing up for what Brown calls their “biggest game of the championship” at Murrayfield.
These are testing times for the teams, but rugby is all about resilience! Let’s see how they regroup and rise to the challenge. Share your thoughts on how Wales and Scotland can turn their fortunes around! 🏴🏴
