Why the 2010 Six Nations may be the key for the 2011 World Cup

The inclusion of a number of exciting youngsters in this season’s Six Nations squads proves coaches are looking forward to the 2011 World Cup in just over 18-months time.

It is the last real chance for players to put their hands up and gain the required international experience necessary to compete at the pinnacle of their sport.

Wales head coach, Warren Gatland, said: "We are now at the beginning of our countdown to the World Cup and this slightly larger squad reflects that.

"We have brought in some youngsters to put some pressure on some of our senior players and to help increase the depth we have in certain positions.”
