Wales Braces for Tough Six Nations Opener Against France Amid Low Expectations

Posted : 31 January 2025

Wales face a daunting challenge as they open their Six Nations campaign with a Friday night clash in Paris, an occasion that also marks Warren Gatland’s 150th game in charge. The struggling side enters the tournament with historically low expectations, reminiscent of the dark days of Welsh rugby in the 1990s. With only two wins in their last 16 Six Nations matches, many fear a second consecutive Wooden Spoon, further dampening hopes for a resurgence.

 

Bookmakers have placed Wales as heavy underdogs, giving them 22-1 odds to defeat France and an even steeper 80-1 chance to win the championship. A statistical predictor further emphasizes their underdog status, estimating just a 0.2% chance of Wales lifting the trophy. New scrum consultant Adam Jones bluntly summarized the sentiment surrounding the team, acknowledging that many expect them to suffer a heavy defeat in Paris.

 

Despite the pessimism, captain Jac Morgan insists that Wales are determined to defy expectations and shift the narrative surrounding the team. With growing negativity around Welsh rugby, the squad sees this match as an opportunity to prove doubters wrong and restore faith in their ability to compete at the highest level.
