Sam Warburton believes Wales have a "shot to nothing" as they bid to defend their Six Nations title amid plenty of high-profile injuries.
Justin Tipuric, Josh Navidi and Ken Owens are all ruled out of the upcoming 2022 tournament, which sees Wales host France, Scotland and Italy in Cardiff, while Alun Wyn Jones, Taulupe Faletau and George North will miss at least the bulk of it.
Wales recorded two wins from four - against Fiji and Australia - during the autumn when their squad was also injury-ravaged, but they are not being given much hope by the bookies, at least, to become back-to-back winners given the recent form of England, Ireland and France - who denied Wales a Grand Slam last year - plus a resurgent Scotland side in the mix.
