Wales Six Nations 2022: Fixtures, squad and predictions
Your complete guide to Wales in the Six Nations 2022 including fixtures, full squad, key players and our prediction.
Wales are aiming to defend their Six Nations title in 2022 with a weakened squad with Alun Wyn Jones still sidelined through injury.
Dan Biggar has stepped into the captaincy role for the tournament where he will be determined to inspire his men to overcome the turbulence that has enveloped Wales since the last tournament.
The Welsh enjoyed a narrow victory over Australia last autumn but came up short against South Africa, New Zealand and Argentina in 2021.

Wales Six Nations 2022 prediction
This is not so much about the weakness of Wales as it is about the sheer strength of other teams in the tournament.
France are the favourites, Ireland are well-poised to strike for the title, Scotland simply cannot be discounted and England, well, their fortunes hinge on their opener in Edinburgh.
Wales are depleted going into the 2022 edition and may just come up short in one too many matches here.
Wales will finish: 5th
