Wales hope that recent post-World Cup history can repeat itself in this season's Six Nations championship.

Warren Gatland's squad go into battle as serious title contenders, especially with three out of four games being at home following their opening weekend clash against Ireland in Dublin.

Wales were crowned Six Nations champions - in Grand Slam fashion on both occasions - immediately following the 2007 and 2011 World Cup campaigns, so with last year's global spectacular still fresh in the memory, it suggests another major push for silverware can be expected.

Winning is a habit. When you look at our coaching team, we are pretty competitive and want to be winners. And when you look at our performances in the Six Nations in the last eight years, there is a high win percentage.

It comes down to those moments in a game where experience is important. We have picked a really experienced squad. The hunger to win games is always there with us.

– RobHowley, Wales Attack Coach
