When something’s working, you don’t fix it – and Wales head coach is taking that philosophy straight into Super Saturday’s clash with Italy.
Fresh off last week’s highlight-reel try against Ireland that had rugby fans across the globe hitting replay, prop Rhys Carré has earned his spot back in the starting XV. That spectacular score showcased exactly the kind of dynamic, fast-paced rugby that’s been winning over American audiences and growing the sport stateside.
The Welsh coaching staff made just one tweak to their matchday 23, bringing Blair Murray onto the bench in place of Louie Hennessey. It’s a vote of confidence in a squad that’s been building momentum throughout the Six Nations campaign.
For American rugby fans watching the Six Nations, Wales represents the kind of exciting, attacking style that APR teams have been incorporating into their own playbooks. The way Carré and his teammates are moving the ball and creating opportunities mirrors what we’re seeing in professional rugby right here in the States.
Super Saturday promises fireworks, and with Wales keeping their winning combination intact, expect more of the electrifying rugby that’s making believers out of sports fans everywhere.
