It has to be said, Wales played awfully considering their advantage against Ireland, and Scotland has to be favorites going into their match. Wales are a country which is suffering from a hangover of a past great manager which delivered a lot of silverware, and losing key coaches to rival nations, as well as several key players, which were probably considered world class retiring.
The squad, manager, and new tactics haven't really clicked yet, and I know there's a lot of discussion between Welsh fans that Pivac the head coach isn't the man for the job. Scotland on the other hand are on the rise, after upsetting one of the favorites for the title; England, and quite convincingly at that, which the scoreboard didn't show.
Despite this, you cannot ever rule out Wales. Wales are very good at slowing the game down to their pace, and bringing other teams down to their level. For such a small country. Welsh rugby has been my guilty pleasure over the years when it comes to betting, despite how well we've done in the last few years. We are almost always the underdogs in the big matches, and the odds usually reflect this.
I can't bet against my country, but if you are to take into consideration where the teams are currently, then Scotland is probably the best bet. They are on a high from beating England, and finally starting the Six Nations off with a good result, and Wales despite winning will have a lot of doubts about how they went about it.
Wales have definitely regressed and it was a shock really last year only winning 1 game
compared to the Grand Slam win in 2019.
A new manager will always bring his own playbook and players can find it hard to adjust,
I dont know why this is though because its their job, I mean its solely what they do.
I wouldnt rule out Wales either, you could say it os your national sport! and like Scotland
and Ireland you wouldnt have a vast pool of players to pick from, unlike England and France.
