- Head coach confident Six Nations game will go ahead
- ‘I think it is a genuine threat,’ says Gatland
Wales’s Six Nations fixture against England in Cardiff on Saturday is still hanging in the balance before crucial talks on Wednesday aimed at averting a potential strike by the country’s leading players.
Warren Gatland says he remains hopeful of fielding a team this weekend but has had to delay naming his matchday squad with negotiations not yet concluded. The decision to scrap Tuesday’s scheduled team announcement and to call off a planned afternoon training session were merely the latest red distress signals to emerge from the Wales team hotel in the Vale of Glamorgan.
