Wales are gearing up to report for Six Nations 2023 duty with two familiar faces back in the fold, on and off the field.<\/p>\n

Head coach Warren Gatland has returned for a second stint in charge of the Welsh national team after a disastrous spell in his native New Zealand with the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

He replaced Wayne Pivac following Wales\u2019s poor run of results and has signed a deal to see the team through to the end of the 2023 World Cup before a decision is made about extending the contract to 2027.<\/p>\n

Alun Wyn Jones also returns to the Welsh scene after missing the entire 2022 competition through injury. He will be determined to seize his opportunity to restore at least some of his former glory here.<\/p>\n
