The ex-Wales full-back said that the team will have an uphill battle as they head to defending champions France in the Six Nations.
PARIS - Ex-Wales full-back Lee Byrne said his former side face a "huge task" on Saturday as they head to defending champions France in the Six Nations.
"A win's a win, I bet Gatland's relieved, the players are happy, no wooden spoon," Byrne told AFP on Tuesday.Wales' campaign, and Gatland's return as head coach, has been marred by off-field issues with a player strike over contract problems cancelled days before the loss to England on February 25."I'm fully behind the players, it's a short career and one that can be cut short at any moment with injury.
The number was cut to 25, allowing more players to follow in former Clermont full-back Byrne's footsteps.
