🏉 Exciting times for Welsh rugby as Steve Tandy steps in as the new head coach! He’s not coming alone though; three former Wales internationals are joining him to revamp the squad ahead of the autumn internationals. Wales will face rugby giants Argentina, Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa in Cardiff. 🏆
Cymru managed to break their 18-match losing streak this summer, but the journey to glory is still a work in progress. Tandy’s task? Lead Wales into a promising new era with the World Cup just around the corner. 🌟
Joining Tandy is Matt Sherratt, taking on the attack coach role after proving his mettle in the Six Nations. Former Harlequins head, Danny Wilson, hops on board as assistant coach, bringing his regional expertise.
Defence will be a priority with Tandy’s specialisation, combined with the legendary Dan Lydiate’s infamous chop tackle expertise. Rhys Patchell, on temporary duty from Dragons, adds kicking prowess, while Duncan Jones from Ospreys handles the scrum. Neil Jenkins continues shaping skills as the beloved skills coach. 🎯
As for Warren Gatland’s previous crew, it’s been a mix of new beginnings. Rob Howley exited rugby entirely, seeking opportunities beyond the field, while others like Neil Forshaw and Jonathan Humphreys pursue personal ventures.
Get ready, Wales fans! A new era of Welsh Rugby is about to unfold with familiar faces and fresh energy. 💪🐉 #WelshRugby #SteveTandy #RugbyRevival
