Rob Kitson, of the Guardian, looks at Wales' growing injury concerns ahead of their Six Nations opener.
"Wales have tended to shatter images rather than moulds in the professional era. In 2008, the last Six Nations that followed a World Cup, little was expected of them after they sneaked out of France having failed to qualify for the quarter-finals but they won the grand slam in some style.
They were tipped to struggle in New Zealand in the last World Cup, dumped in a pool with the holders, South Africa, the team that had progressed at their expense four years before, Fiji, and their nemeses in past tournaments, Samoa."
