Wales is eyeing in-form Leicester star Olly Cracknell as Six Nations approaches
Exeter: So, have you heard the latest rugby buzz? Rob Baxter, Exeter’s director of rugby, is really backing Dafydd Jenkins to make the British and Irish Lions squad. Even though he missed the autumn games due to some surgeries, he’s been on fire lately, starting the last three matches for Exeter.
Baxter thinks Jenkins is a key player for the upcoming Lions tour to Australia. He’s got a great attitude and is working hard to improve his game. Baxter is confident that Jenkins will shine in the Six Nations and believes he’s definitely a future Lion, whether it’s this tour or another one down the line.
Meanwhile, Wales has reached out to Olly Cracknell from Leicester Tigers. This guy is dual-qualified and has been killing it this season. He scored a try in a recent match, and even though he hasn’t played for Wales yet, his club coach thinks he’s ready for the big leagues.
In other news, Italy’s Louis Lynagh is facing a setback after knee surgery, which will keep him out of the Six Nations. It’s a tough break for him and the team, especially since he’s been a standout player.
Lastly, there’s some chatter about the Netflix Six Nations doc possibly getting the boot. The first season didn’t get the viewership they hoped for, and now there are doubts about a third season. It seems like Netflix is shifting its focus to live sports, so we’ll have to see what happens.
