The Wales Six Nations squad didn’t have a match to recollect in 2024, ending on the unsuitable aspect of a whitewash as they ended up with the Wooden Spoon.
Following the retirements of a number of skilled stalwarts from the earlier decade, head coach Warren Gatland had a significant rebuild on his arms as he handed the torch to a brand new era – even the captain, Dafydd Jenkins, was simply 21 years previous on the time. This text exhibits each matchday 23 from the 2024 championship.
With Gatland’s attentions firmly on the Autumn Internationals proper now, it’s just a little early to say who’ll make the lower for the Wales Six Nations 2025 squad, however subsequent summer season’s British & Irish Lions tour to Australia is bound to be a large incentive.
