Wales heads into the 2020 Six Nations as defending champion, having captured the Grand Slam in last year's edition.
The Welsh are one of the three established superpowers of the tournament in recent years, joined by England and Ireland. The last nine Six Nations titles have been won by those three countries, with each claiming three championships in an even split atop the podium.
Wales has the opportunity to become the first team to record back-to-back Grand Slams in the history of the Six Nations, a carrot that will surely entice Wayne Pivac's side. An opening game against Italy, which has lost 22 straight matches in the competition, should provide a boost in that regard.

The rest of the field will be doing everything in its power to stop Wales from repeating its dominant 2019 campaign, with the English and Irish once again providing the stiffest tests. France and Scotland will not be pushovers, however, with the teams having combined to win three games last year.
