Warren Gatland has named an intriguing Wales Six Nations squad, meaning we can officially now get excited for the tournament opener against Ireland on February 4.
The returning Wales coach has announced a 37-player squad, with Ken Owens named captain and four uncapped players included in locks Rhys Davies and Teddy Williams and centre duo Keiran Williams and Mason Grady. Gatland will be assisted by defence coach Mike Forshaw, attack coach Alex King, contact coach Jonathan Thomas, plus forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys and kicking guru Neil Jenkins, who were both retained from Wayne Pivac's backroom roster.
We want to hear directly from you, the fans, about how you think Wales will fare in the Six Nations? Can they beat Ireland in the opener? What will Ken Owens bring as captain? Which uncapped player are you most excited to see in action?
As for Gatland's return, are you excited? Can he hit the ground running? What's your verdict on the new-look backroom team? Should the Welsh Rugby Union have allowed Gatland to appoint Rob Howley as his assistant again?
