Wales Rebuilds: Hamer-Webb's Debut in Six Nations Showdown

Gabriel Hamer-Webb debuts as Wales makes crucial changes for their Six Nations match against Scotland. After heavy losses to England and France, Coach Steve Tandy aims to improve team performance with a refreshed lineup featuring Hamer-Webb, alongside key players Sam Costelow and Tomos Williams.

Wales has introduced new blood into their lineup as Leicester Tigers' wing Gabriel Hamer-Webb is set to make his debut in the Six Nations Championship. The squad readies to face Scotland at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Saturday, with Coach Steve Tandy working to reverse the team's streak of 13 consecutive losses.

After suffering heavy defeats to England and France, Wales has conceded 102 points while scoring only 19 in their opening two matches of 2026. Acknowledging the need for change, Tandy has restructured the team, bringing in Hamer-Webb as part of the back three, aiming for more consistent performances.

Sam Costelow steps in at flyhalf, replacing Dan Edwards. Alongside him is scrumhalf Tomos Williams, while Joe Hawkins and Eddie James continue in their center spots. The front row remains consistent with captain Dewi Lake at hooker. Tandy asserts, 'This lineup brings the freshness we need to challenge Scotland effectively in a tight timeline.'
