Wales Six Nations Squad 2025

[AlRums]

Bet the rest of you lads are ******** the bed now aren't ya. The sleeping giant has finally woke up. Cymru am byth.

Kilts all a tumble,


With laughter.

Probably jinxed it now.

 

[Welsh Exile]

Matt Sherratt approached for job on interim basis. I'll take it.

 

[Bluemoon]

I still think Lancaster would be a great shout for Wales. He's often regarded as only being good with young players, but the Leinster players seemed to really rate him.

No thanks. Would prefer a tactician and he isn't seen as particularly successful here thanks to not being able to beat a depleted wales team, at home Englands own WC. Psychology is important in this decision.

I'd love Schmidt, he was excellent with Ireland, Aus more recently. Attention to detail etc.

Yep lose to England and it'll be has Townsend taken the golden generation as far as possible. He's not made the most of it etc, etc.

An Englishman in charge of Scotland would be more funny than it being Wales.

Then it's just Italy and France and our conquest is complete.

Unfortunately if Aus is too far from home for Schimdt then Wales is almost certainly a no. Then again you both have traditions around sheep so you never know...

Difference is the Aussies can catch the sheep, the Welsh at the moment ...

Matt Sherratt is English!

Gatlands gates

I think it should be renamed Gatland's Back Passage

I think that's a bit unfair on Stu, he left England and Leinster in better places than he found them.

Not the guy to bring Wales back to winning Grand Slams but would be a great guy to build a squad and core competencies which looks like it could take at least 3-4 seasons.

I'd rather he goes to Munster to help strengthen Ireland though so I hope he stays on that course.

Easterby is an interesting one, I reckon he'll be on the blower to Farrell to see what his 2028 plans are before making any decision.

It does go into the bowels if the stadium, ie the car park haha. I wish he hadn't come back, I don't doubt he's done his best but what a record to blemish

Sorry, I've no doubt he's a good coach. Wales is still a goldfish bowl and pereception can often be as important as skill and competency.

I am sorry but lancaster is actually the perfect coach for where you are and what you need, a tactician is someone who will ice the cake but welsh rugby is at the stage of having to buy the ingredients. A tactician would do little to improve the outlook other than make the losses prettier.

You need a DOR, a nucifora, a rassie. Lancaster fits that bill, background in age grade rugby and development systems to help build the infrastructure to sort out the player pool mess. Even for england, eddies early sucess was built on lancaster's squad that he built. What you are saying is you want an eddie jones (of that time good god not now), without the person having built the squad for them to work with. Like Italy wouldnt be making the positive strides they are without the hires of connor oshea, francho smith and keiran crowley to help build the player pool.
