Wales' Rugby Shake-Up: Roberts and Wainwright Start Against England

Joe Roberts will make his first test start as a wing for Wales against England in Cardiff. Aaron Wainwright joins the scrum as the team seeks to avoid the wooden spoon. Interim coach Matt Sherratt made these changes in hopes of reversing a 16-game losing streak.

In an effort to turn the tide, Wales has introduced Joe Roberts into the starting lineup as a wing for their Six Nations clash against England on Saturday. Roberts is replacing Tom Rogers, sidelined by a thumb injury. Aaron Wainwright has also been brought into the side of the scrum, substituting for Tommy Reffell.

Interim coach Matt Sherratt opted for minimal changes for the game in Cardiff, aiming to break Wales' ongoing 16-game losing streak. Sherratt, finishing his tenure without seeking a permanent role, expressed confidence in the new lineup. Wales are desperate to avoid last place in the tournament.

A win against England, coupled with specific results from other matches, will impact their standing. The team's previous match against England ended with a loss, but Sherratt remains hopeful that recent gains in performance, despite defeats, can lead to an uplifting victory.
