Wales’ training camp ahead of the World Cup this year is underway and they shared photos of their work on Instagram.

The Grand Slam winners posted these latest images, showing the players being put through their paces with what looks like a lot of running. 

Warren Gatland is a notorious taskmaster and always strives to have the fittest team on the field. Wales’ Six Nations success this year was built upon a restless defence, which depends on all players to be in peak physical condition and able to outlast the opposition. 

Wales’ training camp on the fallow week before the England Test this year was famed for being brutal for the players, as Gatland put his players through “hell”, according to Shaun Edwards. That paid dividends, as the Welsh blitzed England in the final 20 minutes of their February encounter. 

The New Zealander is unlikely to break a habit of a lifetime, and it looks as though the work for the World Cup in September is starting now. This is what was shared:

Loose forward Ross Moriarty was one to also share images of the camp, giving an indication of how tough it is so far for the players. 

With no Welsh regions making the final stages of the European competitions or the PRO14, the players have benefited from a long break already. This differs from the French team, for instance, where some of the players’ seasons would have only ended with the Top 14 final last week.

Likewise, England’s initial training camp starts next week, although they will be without Saracens, Exeter Chiefs, Gloucester or Northampton Saints players. Eddie Jones named his initial training squad last Thursday, which is significantly later that Gatland who named his 42-man squad in April.  

Therefore, the three-time Grand Slam winning coach has the benefit of extra time with his players, which he will no doubt put to good use as they ramp up their preparations for the trip to Japan in September.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
