Wales's Six Nations campaign continues with matches against France, Scotland, Ireland, and Italy. The team is hoping to start the tournament on a positive note.

The clash against England is always highly anticipated. Wales's coach, Steve Tandy, emphasized the team's determination, stating they're ready to attack the game. The Welsh team is under pressure to perform, especially after a disappointing run. Their first match will set the tone for the rest of the Six Nations.
