Lake XV. According to a legend dating back to the VII centuryH In the 20th century, King Cadwaladr – who was fighting Saxon invaders – is said to have ordered his soldiers to wear this vegetable on their helmets to distinguish themselves from enemies. Although the authenticity of this incident is uncertain, the Tudor dynasty (1485-1603) controlled it. The latter distributed leeks to their guards on the 1stany March, a national holiday. The Welsh are also called dragons, because according to Arthurian legend, Merlin the Wizard had a vision of a red dragon fighting a white dragon (Saxon invaders, again!).
- their best performance
The Welsh selection has reached the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup three times (1987, 2011, 2019).
Having been one of the best teams of the last decade, Wales have been shining since 2020. Their executives have aged, and the Red Dragons have been unable to rejuvenate themselves. The last Six Nations Championship record has been poor, with just one win and a behind-the-scenes crisis. Due to the economic difficulties faced by the local clubs, the players threatened to go on strike. Falling into the lower part of the table, the Lake XV must advance to the quarter-finals, where it can find Argentina or England. Given the series of absences, it seems difficult to achieve a higher goal.

- A rugby expression that fits them well
“Flies have changed donkeys.” : The Occitan expression was popularized by Pierre El Bellagio, former captain of the Dax and French internationals during the 1960s, who was a television consultant. It defines the moment in the meeting when the outcome of the match changes: after taking control, the team gains the upper hand and the match no longer seems to be able to escape from it. It derives from the fact that an old donkey cannot drive away the flies it carries. Thus, it can also apply to a team that was dominant but is getting old.
