Ellis Genge believes that despite recent struggles, Wales pose a serious threat to England in their upcoming Six Nations clash. He notes that the bookmakers' odds and recent results don't reflect the potential danger. Wales has faced challenges, including a restructuring of their domestic game and losses since the 2023 Rugby World Cup, yet Genge anticipates a fierce performance from the Welsh side.

Genge emphasized that a wounded Wales team traveling to Twickenham is never an easy opponent. The team is under new leadership with coach Steve Tandy. Wales' recent 73-0 defeat by South Africa, which occurred outside the international window, obscured some progress. Genge points to their competitive performance against New Zealand as a more accurate indicator of their potential, despite the loss.

England's squad features new faces in the front row. Genge, who made his debut against Wales in 2016, acknowledges the readiness of the new generation. He highlights their physical attributes and experience in the Premiership. He believes the new players are better prepared for Test rugby than he was at their age, signaling a changing of the guard.

Injuries have opened the door for players like Vilikesa Sela and Emmanuel Iyogun. Sela's rapid rise, including playing for England's under-20 team, demonstrates the depth of talent available. The match at Twickenham is set to be a test of both teams' resolve.
