Six Nations 2025: Welsh rugby aims to recover soul despite defeat
If Wales wants Serrat to participate in the national setting, but he doesn’t want the highest job, then WRU can try to attract him as an attack master.
Under Gatland, Wales’ offensive plan stopped it, but Sherratt restarted the ignition switch.
Many of these can be attributed to simple factors such as choosing and playing people with familiar positions.
One of Sherratt’s first decisions was to bring Gareth Anscombe and Center Max Llewellyn to the team, and Gatland dropped the Gatester Duo.
The couple’s outstanding role at Kingsholm this season landed directly on the starting side.
Anscombe’s presence as Expert 10 has led Ben Thomas to his favorite inner position.
These choices have allowed Anscombe and Thomas to play their best at Llewellyn when they finally showed some energy in the Welsh midfield.
Wing Ellis Mee has only shown a guaranteed test debut in his 11th professional match, and a painfully late-scoring attempt could change the results.
Mee’s scarlet teammate Blair Murray played regional rugby on the wing, but he was once again impressed with the defender role.
Gatland brought Murray and Mee to Wales to set up, and the couple benefited from a more cohesive offensive system.
