Faletau is not ready for Friday’s Six Nations opener with France due to injury with hope that he will be fit for the clash with Italy

Wales head coach Warren Gatland has highlighted what could backfire for France when the sides meet in Friday's Six Nations opener in Paris.

Warren Gatland is hopeful Taulupe Faletau will be available for the rest of the Six Nations after he made the personal decision to pull out of Wales' opener against France in Paris. The No. 8 had been nearing a Test return, having not featured for his country since the World Cup pool stage match against Georgia at the start of October 2023.

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.

Warren Gatland has named his team for the Six Nations opener against France.

Wales have been boosted by the return of wing Josh Adams, fullback Liam Williams and lock Dafydd Jenkins for their Six Nations opener against France in Paris on Friday, while No. 8 Taulupe Faletau will miss the clash.
