Wales will be hoping that they can build momentum at the 2023 Rugby World Cup and continue their strong record under Warren Gatland.
The New Zealander returned for a second stint in charge after compatriot Wayne Pivac paid the price for a difficult November last year.
While Gatland’s side were short of where they needed to be during the Six Nations in the spring, a crop of talented youngsters and a few veteran heads could go well at the tournament.
Australia, Fiji and Georgia are all likely to provide tough opposition in the pool stages but Wales may just fancy their chances of reaching a third semi-final in four tournaments if they can escape from their group.
Here is the World Cup schedule for Wales and their possible route to the final. Get all the latest Rugby World Cup odds here.
