Wales Youngster Impresses Coaches in Training
A Wales youngster’s outstanding training performances have caught the attention of onlookers in the camp, showcasing his talent and potential on the field. Ellis Mee, a 21-year-old player from Scarlets, has been described as “brilliant” by Wales interim head coach Matt Sherratt. Mee, who recently received his first international cap, has only played 10 professional games for Scarlets since joining the team. Despite his limited experience, Mee has been called up to the Welsh squad for the upcoming tournament and will be replacing the injured Josh Adams on the wing in the match against Ireland. Sherratt commended Mee for his pace and aerial skills in training, expressing his pride in seeing a young player fulfilling his dream of representing his country.
Former Ireland international, Simon Zebo, has shared his thoughts on the upcoming Wales-Ireland clash, suggesting that Wales may face a tough challenge. Zebo believes that Wales is currently struggling and may not be able to compete at the same level as Ireland in the upcoming match. While previous encounters between the two teams have been closely contested, Zebo feels that Wales has fallen behind in terms of talent and strategy, making them the underdogs in the competition.
On the Scotland side, co-captain Finn Russell has been cleared to play in the upcoming Calcutta Cup match against England, after recovering from a head injury sustained in a previous game. However, back Darcy Graham will be sidelined due to health concerns, with Glasgow’s Kyle Rowe stepping in as his replacement. Scotland coach Gregor Townsend expressed confidence in the team’s lineup, highlighting the resilience and determination of the players as they prepare to face England.
In England’s camp, lock George Martin has been ruled out of the upcoming Guinness Six Nations showdown against Scotland due to a knee injury. Bath forward Ted Hill will replace Martin on the bench for the Calcutta Cup clash. England attack coach Richard Wigglesworth acknowledged the setback but expressed assurance in the team’s depth and readiness to face Scotland in the crucial match.
