Wales will play all their international fixtures at the Principality Stadium with the roof closed for the next two years after a change of Six Nations protocol.

The loudest stadium in the Six Nations has just got louder after Wales was allowed to close the roof of Principality Stadium for the next two years.

Max Boyce used to say God preferred the Principality Stadium to be left open so “he can watch his favourites play”. But then Warren Gatland arrived and said “to hell with that”.

Coach Warren Gatland is counting on some returning old heads to lead his young Wales squad in the Six Nations and create a siege mentality following a team record run of 12 defeats in a row that has plunged the country's rugby into crisis.

Wales head coach Warren Gatland has said he would welcome back Louis Rees-Zammit, but added he has had no contact with him and expects him to stay in the U.S.

Warren Gatland insisted his Wales side should not be ruled out of contention for this year's Six Nations title, despite a dismal 2024.

The Welsh Rugby Union has unveiled Sean Lynn as the new head coach of the Wales Women’s senior side. Lynn replaces Ioan Cunningham who left the role after a disappointing run of results and a row over player contracts last year.

Wales have appointed Sean Lynn as head coach of their women's senior side on a three-year contract, the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) confirmed on Monday.

Sean Lynn is set to be unveiled as Wales women's new head coach. The Gloucester-Hartpury head coach was a frontrunner to succeed Ioan Cunningham who stood down in November after three years at the helm.
