Wales head coach Steve Tandy is eager for a winning experience at Twickenham as Wales faces England in their Six Nations opener. Tandy recalls past victories at the iconic stadium from his time as Scotland's defense coach. Wales enters as underdogs, having struggled in recent matches while England boasts an impressive winning streak.

Returning prop Tomas Francis is the only Welsh player with a Twickenham win against England. The team's recent form has been poor, with two winless tournaments and consecutive Wooden Spoons. Tandy acknowledges the challenge, emphasizing the team's internal belief and focus on their own performance.

Tandy views the Six Nations as a premier tournament, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to lead his nation. Despite off-field challenges, including the Ospreys' future uncertainty, the team remains focused. Tandy believes the players are concentrating on the game, and are ready to improve.

With a tough matchup ahead, what will the Welsh team's performance be? The match will be in London, and will be available on BBC Sounds with live commentary. Fans will be eager to see if Wales can defy expectations.
