Cardiff: So, Wales is gearing up for a match against the U20s this Friday. It’s all about getting ready for their Six Nations opener against France next week. They really need to shake off that streak of 12 Test losses.

With the game in Paris coming up, they don’t have much time to prepare. It’s a bit of a scramble, especially since they want to avoid finishing at the bottom of the table again.

Warren Gatland is looking to get the team aligned, especially with the new roles in the coaching staff. They’re hoping this match will help them get into the right mindset before facing the French.

But here’s the kicker: a bunch of players will head back to their clubs after this week, leaving Gatland with a smaller squad. He thought about bringing in some fresh faces but decided against it for now.

Gatland mentioned that Monday was mostly about admin stuff, with a bit of skills training. They’ve got a few sessions lined up before the U20s match, but it’s tight.

He’s aware that everyone’s in the same boat, but it’s still a challenge. Meanwhile, former Wales fly-half Dan Biggar thinks a rough Six Nations could lead to some big changes in Welsh rugby.

Biggar pointed out that the team needs a fresh approach, especially since they’ve been struggling lately. He feels like they need new ideas and a different game plan to get back on track.

He also mentioned some mixed messages coming from the camp, especially regarding player selections. It’s a bit confusing, and he thinks they need to sort it out.

On a brighter note, Cardiff winger Iwan Stephens has signed a new long-term deal with the club, even though he’s sidelined with an ACL injury. He’s excited to stay with the team and can’t wait to get back on the field.

Lastly, Leicester has signed England winger Adam Radwan from Newcastle. He’s joining the Tigers on a multi-year deal, which is a big move for him after Watson’s retirement.
