Warren Gatland will have to overcome long odds if he is to pick up where he left off and win the 2023 Six Nations following his return to Wales.
Gatland lifted a Grand Slam in the final Six Nations campaign of his first 12-year stint in charge of the national team in 2019. But the side he now takes over are completely unfancied with the bookies as things stand following a disappointing 2022 under Wayne Pivac.
Wales finished fifth this year, beating only Scotland and losing at home to Italy - a result that put Pivac on the edge heading into an autumn campaign that came off the rails with defeat to Georgia.
