The Wales Six Nations team did not have a memorable tournament in 2024, finishing on the wrong side of the table as they ended up finishing with the Wooden Spoon.
Following the retirement of several experienced stalwarts over the past decade, manager Warren Gatland has undertaken a major rebuild, passing the torch to a new generation. Even captain Dafydd Jenkins was only 21 years old at the time. This article shows all match days 23 of the 2024 Championship.
With Gatland now firmly committed to the Autumn Internationals, it is a bit too early to tell who will make the Wales Six Nations 2025 squad, but the British and Irish Lions’ tour of Australia next summer is sure to be a huge incentive.
