Wales: Dragons Losing Their Fire

Wales fans, brace yourselves – things aren’t looking good.

Once a dominant force, Wales is in freefall under Warren Gatland. A 12-match losing streak has crushed morale, leaving fans questioning the team’s direction. Their last win? A distant 43-19 victory over Georgia in October 2023. Since then, they’ve lacked cohesion, confidence, and results – making them strong contenders for the wooden spoon.

The return of Gatland was meant to spark a revival, but instead, Wales looks more vulnerable than ever. If they don’t turn things around quickly, they could suffer a humiliating last-place finish.

Italy: A Rising Threat

Italy has long been seen as the tournament’s underdog, but things are changing.

Under Gonzalo Quesada, the Azzurri are showing real promise. Despite finishing last 17 times since 2000, their 13-13 draw against France and a stunning win over Scotland in the 2024 Six Nations signaled a new era. With three wins in their last seven games, Italy is no longer the guaranteed wooden spoon recipient.

A sharper defense and a fearless approach are paying off. They may not be out of danger just yet, but Italy is in a better position than ever to escape the bottom spot.

Could England or Scotland Be in Trouble?

While all eyes are on Wales vs. Italy, England and Scotland need to be careful.

• England: A proud rugby nation in transition under Steve Borthwick. After an unconvincing Rugby World Cup campaign, a few poor results could see them dangerously close to the bottom.
• Scotland: The Scots are improving, but their shocking loss to Italy in 2024 is a stark reminder that no team is safe. Tough fixtures could put them in trouble if they slip up.

The Big Guns: Ireland & France

At the top, Ireland and France are the favorites. But even they can’t afford complacency.

• Ireland: Andy Farrell’s side is known for consistency, but with Farrell focused on the Lions, can they maintain their dominance?
• France: The most unpredictable team in the tournament. With Antoine Dupont returning, they’ll be a serious force – but can they avoid an unexpected upset?

Belushi’s Prediction

Our call? Wales will finish last. Italy’s improvements and fighting spirit should see them clear of the wooden spoon, while Wales’ poor form might seal their fate. But if England or Scotland stumble, this could get interesting.
