The 12 Days Of Deadballine Guy’s Christmas

Wales head coach Steve Tandy believes his team are gradually evolving into an “outstanding” side — but not one ready yet to talk about winning matches.

Steve Tandy has challenged his players to deliver their best performance of the Six Nations after keeping faith with the same Wales starting line-up for the final round match at home to Italy.

Louis Rees-Zammit has admitted Wales made life far too difficult for themselves earlier in the Six Nations by conceding tries “for fun”.

Newport head coach Ty Morris has praised the determination and resilience of his side after they staged a dramatic comeback to lift the Super Rygbi Cymru Cup.

Italy head coach Gonzalo Quesada insists his side must remain humble and cannot take victory over winless Wales for granted this weekend.

Steve Tandy believes Wales are moving firmly in the right direction, even though the downward descent in the results chart continued with defeat to Ireland.
