Three Wales players who should be dropped – and their ideal replacements to face England

Today at 03:23 AM

Wales just can't catch a break. Their 35-29 defeat to Scotland wasn't just another Six Nations loss—it was their 16th straight defeat, matching Italy's unwanted record for the longest losing streak by a tier-one nation in the professional era.

Sure, they showed some fight with a late comeback, but the harsh reality is that Wales are stuck in a rut. With England coming to Cardiff next weekend, something has to change—fast. Here are three key switches Matt Sherratt must make to give his side a fighting chance.

#1. Gareth Anscombe

Wales Online 4/10: “Decent kick for Blair Murray’s try, but otherwise his work with the boot was a little aimless. Got left in no-man’s land for Darcy Graham’s score. Attack much better when he departed.”

Rugby Pass 4/10: “Gave Wales a brief early lead from the tee but struggled to give his side the platform they needed during a chastening opening half. Bit too eagerly in one passage of play and left his side badly exposed, resulting in a try.”

RUCK 5/10: “He got sold a dummy by his opposite number, Finn Russell which resulted in them crossing over. However, early on, he put in some tremendous contestable kick as Wales looked to get upfield, but like many players in this Player rating, it was below par.”

Replacement: Jarrod Evans
