Offside Opinions: Wales can beat New Zealand

Fight for Position: Review
The Six Nations might be over, but the analysis isn't, yet, in fact, it's going to be referenced all the way till September. Before the tournament began, I wrote an article focusing on the position each team had to resolve ahead of the World Cup - ideally by the end of the Six Nations.
