Wales head into the Six Nations with no pressure to succeed but with a massive point to prove as Warren Gatland returns to the fold.

Gatland is back in charge after former coach Wayne Pivac was discharged from his duties since last year's tournament.

Not many fancy Wales to go all the way here, but a big performance in front of a boisterous home crowd against Ireland on the opening weekend could be enough to jolt the Welsh into an unlikely surge for the crown.

Gatland has signed a deal to see the team through to the end of the 2023 World Cup before a decision is made about extending the contract to 2027.

Alun Wyn Jones also returns to the Welsh scene after missing the entire 2022 competition through injury. He will be determined to seize his opportunity to restore at least some of his former glory here.
