Wales are rank underdogs against France but they’ll avoid a 27.5-point drubbing in their Six Nations opener, according to the MONEY MAN.

Despite their struggles, Wales have a history of rising to the occasion, especially when under pressure. The team will not be intimidated by the formidable French challenge and will fight hard to avoid a heavy defeat.

Warren Gatland’s influenceWarren Gatland’s tactical expertise is another reason Wales will stay competitive. While France are undoubtedly the favorites, Gatland’s experience on the big stage, especially in the Six Nations, gives Wales the stability and tactical awareness to withstand pressure and manage the game efficiently.

Matching France in the packOne area where Wales can hold their own is in the forward battle. With key players like Will Rowlands and Dafydd Jenkins in the pack, they have the physicality and aggression to match France’s powerful forwards. If Wales can break even in the scrums and set pieces, they will limit the opportunities for France to dominate and put significant points on the board.

Unpredictability in the elementsWeather plays a pivotal role in any rugby match, and when conditions are wet and near freezing, the game becomes more unpredictable. This could work in Wales’ favor, as France’s free-flowing attacking style might be hindered by the slippery pitch. In these conditions, a close, hard-fought game could leave Wales with a better chance to avoid a crushing defeat.

Set Pieces: Adam Jones’ Impact on the ScrumOne of the key changes for Wales is the addition of Adam Jones, who has been brought in to bolster the scrum. If Wales can hold their own in this crucial aspect of the game, it will disrupt France’s momentum and limit their ability to create scoring opportunities from set-piece dominance. A solid scrum is essential for Wales to stay competitive and keep the scoreline in check.

Wales’ MotivationFinally, Wales will enter this match with a point to prove. While their recent form has been the worst in their history, they are a team with pride and character. The weight of history and national pride will fuel their determination to avoid a humiliating defeat and ensure they remain competitive, even against one of the best teams in the world.

With these factors in mind, the Moneyman believes Wales will show enough fight and resilience to avoid a loss of more than 27.5-points, even if they don’t manage to topple the mighty French.
