Wales will be hoping that they can build momentum at the 2023 Rugby World Cup and continue their strong record under Warren Gatland.

The New Zealander returned for a second stint in charge after compatriot Wayne Pivac paid the price for a difficult November last year.

While Gatland’s side were short of where they needed to be during the Six Nations in the spring, a crop of talented youngsters and a few veteran heads could go well at the tournament.

And after becoming the first team to reach the last eight, Wales may just fancy their chances of reaching a third semi-final in four tournaments.
