The things that I've been involved with in the last month or so have been incredibly positive in terms of the conversations that have been had. During Gatland's initial 12-year reign, from 2007 to 2019, Wales won four Six Nations titles, three Grand Slams and reached two World Cup semi-finals and were briefly the world's number one team. It was Italy who wrote their name into the Six Nations history books in 2022, on the final day of the Championship, claiming a dramatic victory over Wales in Cardiff. The stage is set again, in a fixture that is catapulting itself into the hearts and minds of rugby fans. France then closes out the 2024 Championship with Le Crunch, hosting England. The regional rugby extravaganza will see Scarlets take on Dragons RFC before Cardiff Rugby battle it out against the Ospreys in the final weekend of BKT United Rugby Championship action.

Rees-Zammit will miss the opening two games against Ireland and Scotland and Gatland hopes he will be fit to face England on 25 February. Davies spoke of the "challenging year" and "traumatic time" which had not been "a comfortable period for Welsh rugby". They will be desperate to gain revenge on Italy in Rome but beating France in Paris is again asking too much. Wales have the players to perform better than they did in the autumn but they are miles behind Six Nations favourites Ireland and France. The new WRPA chief executive, Gareth Lewis, led the charge against the PRB and the delays in sorting out the proposed six-year agreement. The moment strike action was mooted, panic set in. He was suddenly invited as an observer at a PRB meeting and emergency meetings were called. Peace in our time? For this week at leastSIGN UP: Get the latest rugby headlines sent straight to your inbox for free with our daily newsletter Who will win the Six Nations? The budgets are dependent on not just what we do but the commercial income the clubs are able to generate as well," said Collier-Keywood.

The report was commissioned by the WRU following a BBC Wales investigates programme that raised serious allegations against the governing body in January. The fate of Saturday’s fixture was hanging in the balance because of the financial saga involving the WRU and the four Welsh regional sides, all supposedly working together under the PRB.Ben James: You could argue this will be the year that Jac Morgan, after being trusted to start just three games in his first year as an international, will establish himself as a nailed-on starter. He has all the tools for Test rugby, often appearing to influence proceedings by sheer will alone. Who will be Wales captain under Gatland? Maybe a change in governance might be forced through this year, but is it already too late for that now? Varsity has been ever-present on the sporting calendar for both Swansea University and Cardiff University since it began in 1997 and has gone from strength-to-strength each year. For its quarter-century anniversary, the sporting showpiece will be taking place on Wednesday, April 26 2023, with over 10,000 students cheering on the teams in the Welsh capital. Belt tightening is on the way which is set to involve squads being reduced in size and pay cuts for players, a number of whom might just decide to ply their trade elsewhere. The oldest international rugby match in the sport, Scotland versus England, will be played out in Edinburgh in round three, before Scotland travel to Rome in round four to take on the Azzurri.

On the pitch, Gatland has had to deal with the sudden international retirements of some of his most experienced players. That will be by the first half of the next calendar year. When I first came in it was something I identified as a weakness. But when needs must, anything becomes possible and moveable. Hence the caps rule was more than halved, to 25. Peace in our time? For this week at least. Yeah, probably recent times have been a little bit tough but all I can say is that we’ll put the hard work in here and work on building that confidence to give some good performances over the next few months.” The pay-off was an agreement between Steve Phillips and the WRU at the time," said Collier-Keywood.The 2023 Welsh Varsity tournament will be returning to Cardiff for the first time since 2019 as student teams from Swansea and Cardiff University go head-to-head in its 25th year. Keiran is a bit different. He reminds me of a younger Scott Gibbs in the way that he plays and his stature with fantastic footwork in getting across the gainline. He's pretty exciting and it's a great opportunity."

The room in which the players met prior to the meeting was formerly the Wales team room during their international camp. It had also been the venue for Warren Gatland press conferences in recent weeks and the one in which the Wales head coach had admitted last week that he had told the players they needed a stronger voice at the negotiating table. My encouragement to fans is to get out there and support your local clubs. It may be a difficult time at the moment but this is a long-term strategy so in two or three years I hope things will have changed.
