Jones wants Wales Rugby Team to focus on Italy

Barry Jones, the former fly half for the Wales Rugby Team has urged his compatriots to not worry about spoiling England’s hopes of securing the Grand Slam title and instead, keep their focus on beating the Italian team. Stuart Lancaster and his England team could head into a final weekend clash against the Welsh team at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, aiming to win their first Grand Slam in over a decade and that is something that will, no doubt, raise the game of the Welsh players.

The 68 year old John stated that people back home are already starting to get excited about the prospect of England coming into town for their fixture on the 16th of March with a shot at the title and the Wales Rugby Team looking to secure the title for themselves as well. He stated that it would be a dream come true scenario and he is salivating at the prospect himself. But for the national team to be able to keep their end of the bargain, they must not take their eye off anything and concentrate on beating Italy comprehensively.

In search of another title in the Six Nations, Rob Howley, the interim coach of the Wales Rugby Team has named the exact same starting lineup that stunned one of the favorites for the title France and his replacements have also been overhauled and are oozing with confidence.

Having started the championship poorly against the unfancied Irish side, Wales are looking more and more confident with each passing game and their body language has also changed over the last few weeks. Winger Alex Cuthbert also believes that the title is now a realistic title for the team and it would be a dream come true scenario if they beat England to the title.

Wales losses won’t affect Six Nations

Sam Warburton, the captain of the Wales Rugby Team is extremely adamant that the fact that the reigning Six Nations Grand Slam champions have lost each of their last seven tests will have very little significance when they embark on the defense of their title against Ireland on the 2nd of February at home. Speaking at the launch of the tournament, the Welsh skipper stated that it is always a great feeling to go into a tournament as the defending champions adding that the entire team can get a lot of confidence from that tag.

Wales is the only team in the tournament where rugby is the sport for winter rather than football has had a string of disappointing results over the last couple of months, losing narrowly in each and every one of their games away from home, as well as a home loss to Australia apart from two morale sapping losses to the likes of Samoa and Argentina.

The Wales Rugby Team suffered a 3-0 series whitewash Down Under and when they were very close to beating The Wallabies at home, they conceded a try with the very last play of the game to go down 12-14.  But Warburton insisted that the team did not deserve their loss at the hands of Australia, adding that they played decent enough before going on to state the entire team performed on that day except in the last minute when the entire defense stood still.

And the skipper of the Wales Rugby Team insisted that it was their performance that made it difficult to accept the defeat and it was a match that they should have won with ease. But he stated that the situation is not as bad as people think and it is recoverable with a bit of hard work.
