Wales has added Taine Plumtree to their squad for the crucial Six Nations game against Italy. The team is looking to break a 13-match losing streak.
Wales has bolstered their squad with the inclusion of Scarlets back-rower Taine Plumtree ahead of their crucial Six Nations encounter against Italy this Saturday. The move comes amidst concerns over a potential broken cheekbone suffered by a member of the Welsh team, though the exact diagnosis awaits the results of a medical scan. Meanwhile, Sale prop WillGriff John has rejoined the Wales camp in Nice, where the team is currently based in preparation for their second Six Nations match in Rome.
This fixture holds immense significance for Wales as they seek to halt a concerning 13-match losing streak in Test matches, which culminated in a disappointing defeat against France in their opening Six Nations encounter. Compounding their woes, Wales failed to score in a Five Nations or Six Nations game for the first time since 1998. The team faces immense pressure to turn their fortunes around and secure a victory against Italy
