Wales have moved from collapse to competitiveness — but competitive isn’t the same as convincing. In this episode of Attacking Scrum, we break down what has actually improved in Wales’ system, why closing tight Test matches remains a problem, and what “progress” really means ahead of a huge clash with Ireland.
We preview Wales v Ireland as the ultimate audit of this rebuild: can Wales live with Ireland’s phase accuracy and composure? Or will the closing issue resurface?
Plus:
• How tough a test is Scotland for France in the title race?
• Are France truly the most complete side in the Six Nations?
• Is this Italy’s best chance ever to beat England?
