Wales' Dewi Lake Aims for Victory to Honor Coach Matt Sherratt in Six Nations Finale

Dewi Lake and Wales strive for a win against England to give interim coach Matt Sherratt a memorable send-off in the Six Nations finale in Cardiff.

Wales' hooker Dewi Lake is determined to lead his team to victory against England in the upcoming Six Nations finale in Cardiff, aiming to provide a fitting farewell to interim head coach Matt Sherratt. Sherratt, who has been at the helm since Warren Gatland's departure, will oversee his final match in his caretaker role.

Sherratt's Impact on Wales

Sherratt's tenure has seen Wales face a challenging period, including a 27-18 home loss to Ireland and a 35-29 away defeat to Scotland. Despite these setbacks, Lake praises Sherratt's efforts, highlighting his ability to quickly implement his vision and the attacking flair he has brought to the team.

Wales' Determination to End Losing Streak

Wales are keen to break a 16-match international losing streak dating back to October 2023. Lake emphasized the team's relentless pursuit of victory, stating that the desire to win remains undiminished regardless of the changes in leadership.

The Significance of the Principality Stadium

The Principality Stadium in Cardiff, known for its electrifying atmosphere, could play a crucial role in the match. Lake acknowledges the impact of the home crowd, noting that their support can be a game-changer. However, he stresses the importance of the players' performance in harnessing that energy.

Lake's Return to the Six Nations

Lake, 25, made his first Six Nations appearance since 2022 after recovering from bicep surgery. He expressed gratitude to the physios and backroom staff for their support and is thrilled to be back in action, contributing to the team's efforts in this prestigious tournament.
