Warren Gatland’s Wales face biggest challenge in Six Nations history Wales face arguably their biggest challenge in Six Nations history this season as they go into the tournament following 12 successive Test defeats and with a head coach under huge pressure.
Wales ended up with the Six Nations wooden spoon last season, losing all five games for the first time since 2003, and some bookmakers rate them an 80-1 title chance this time around.
Gatland then came under further scrutiny as the Welsh Rugby Union conducted a detailed post-autumn review, with another one promised after the Six Nations.
And it is easy to see why, having not won a Test match since beating Georgia during the 2023 World Cup and reeling from an autumn campaign that produced landslide losses against Australia and South Africa after being defeated by Fiji.
Although he was given the green light to continue, Gatland’s future as Wales boss remains a subject of debate among fans and commentators.
