Wales are going back to the future in this year’s Six Nations as Warren Gatland starts his second spell as head coach.
The 59-year-old has returned to the Principality following the sacking of Wayne Pivac. In his first go-round, Gatland led Wales to four Six Nations titles, as well as three grand slams.
Wales are “underdogs” this year, however, after winning just one match at last year’s Six Nations and finishing with a defeat to Italy. An opening-round 34-10 defeat to Ireland, where they were blown away in the first half, suggests it could be a long spring for Gatland and co.
“The underdog tag is something I’ve found in the past the Welsh boys tend to relish,” Gatland said ahead of this year’s tournament. “They like people writing them off, as it tends to motivate them.”
