Cardiff: So, Warren Gatland’s been chatting with Sam Parry, right? They had a bit of a tiff, but it looks like they’re trying to clear the air. Parry’s back in the mix for the Six Nations squad, which is a big deal.
Remember, Parry was part of the training squad last summer but left when he found out he was just backup. That must’ve stung a bit. But now, he’s ready to play, and Gatland seems keen to move on from the past.
Gatland mentioned they had a “pretty honest” talk about everything. He’s been dealing with some tight-head issues, too. With injuries and players not getting enough game time, it’s been a bit of a headache for him.
He even said losing Leon Brown to retirement was tough. But it sounds like he’s optimistic about Parry’s experience and skills. They both want to put the past behind them and focus on the future.
On another note, Gatland knows he’s on the hot seat. If Wales doesn’t start winning soon, he might be out of a job. They’ve had a rough patch, losing every match in 2024. That’s a record no one wants.
He’s been thinking about whether he should stick around or just take a break. But he’s always loved a challenge, so it sounds like he’s ready to fight for his spot.
Meanwhile, Jac Morgan, the Ospreys captain, just signed a new deal. He’s been a standout player, and keeping him around is a big win for the team. Morgan feels at home with the Ospreys and is excited about the future.
Lastly, there’s some sad news from Scotland. Former captain Peter Brown passed away at 83. He was a legend in Scottish rugby, and his contributions will be missed. Townsend paid tribute, highlighting Brown’s passion for the game.
