Wales skipper for the day, Josh Navidi, has hailed Warren Gatland’s “second to none” contribution ahead of his final game in Cardiff as their head coach. Gatland takes charge of his 117th Wales Test in the warm-up clash against Ireland.

A Dublin return follows next weekend before Wales head to the World Cup in Japan, after which Gatland will end a 12-year tenure. Back row forward Navidi captains Wales for the first time and he readily acknowledges Gatland’s impact that is highlighted by three Six Nations Grand Slams and World Cup semi-final appearance.

“He has been massive – what he has achieved has been huge,” Navidi said. “He’s been a big part of rugby, and what he has brought to Welsh rugby is second to none. Hopefully, we give him a nice home send-off and then can concentrate on the World Cup.”

Gatland’s priority is the game and then selecting his 31-man World Cup squad, which he will reveal on Sunday, but he is certain to receive a rapturous Principality Stadium send-off. “It will be quite emotional,” Gatland said. “I’ve had an unbelievable time here in Wales, the people have made my time incredibly special.

“I’m trying to keep it in perspective. It’s something I will be thinking about, but it’s not about me. I will just have a personal reflection and look back on how memorable it’s been, without making a big fuss about it.”

Gatland has made 14 changes from the side that accounted for England a fortnight ago, with only Scarlets flanker James Davies remaining. Meanwhile, Ireland have made 11 changes from their side which lost to the English last Saturday, Iain Henderson, Peter O’Mahony, Jacob Stockdale and Bundee Aki their four survivors.

‘We don’t fear them’: Blitzboks ready for must-win clash with SVNS leaders

 I started getting into Bitcoin in late 2020 when the price was nearly at 30,000 USD, back at the time I was just following the footsteps of my friend, she saw it as a good long-term plan and I was on board with it so we started buying bit by bit at the end of every Month. Now fast forward to January 2023 when she came up with the great idea to go into crypto trading, this was supposed to be our game changer, we already accumulated a nice amount of Bitcoin since we started holding so once we invested with that we would make more than enough profits to last us and we won’t have to work anymore, amazing plan until it all went wrong, we invested with the wrong broker company that made away with all of our investments.. the agent blocked us Instagram and disappeared leaving us in the dark but all thanks to Infinite Digital Recovery, getting in contact with Infinite Digital Recovery made it possible that we recovered back our money today, it took him less than 48hours to trace the transactions and accessed the company website database to recover our already hanging funds in our account, it was then we found out they continued trading with our Money and kept generating more profits, very fraudulent act and we made sure to take every penny of ours thanks to Infinite Digital Recovery, You can also reach out to Infinite Digital Recovery for help for anyone in a similar situation, the contact details are below :
