Wales Coach Tandy Revamps Team for Six Nations Opener

Wales coach Steve Tandy has announced his lineup for the Six Nations opener against England. Dan Edwards will start as flyhalf, with Louis Rees-Zammit making a strategic shift to fullback. Tandy aims to reverse Wales' poor form, having won only two of their last 23 tests.

Wales coach Steve Tandy has unveiled his squad for the upcoming Six Nations Championship opener against England at Twickenham. Notably, Dan Edwards will take the flyhalf position while Louis Rees-Zammit, previously a winger, earns his fourth cap as fullback in the number 15 jersey.

This strategic decision comes after a disappointing period in which Wales has secured victory in only two of their last 23 matches and none of their previous 11 Six Nations games. Rees-Zammit returns to fullback for the first time since the closing game of the 2023 tournament against France.

Josh Macleod, having overcome injury setbacks, is set to play a key role as openside flanker. Tandy emphasizes the team's potential, stating, "Opening the Six Nations at Twickenham is historic, and it's something we can't wait to do."
