France arrive in Cardiff next Sunday with Wales searching for a first Six Nations home win in four years.<\/p>\n
The calamitous state of Welsh rugby means the WRU is struggling to sell out their three home games this year, with thousands of tickets still available for next weekend.<\/p>\n
Tandy hopes Wales will receive the usual home backing.<\/p>\n
“The fans have been amazing support for the team,” said Tandy.<\/p>\n
“We know what it means to the boys to play in the Principality Stadium and the fans give them huge belief.”<\/p>\n
Whether the Wales head coach will make changes remains to be seen as he balances reacting to an underwhelming display and the need to develop a settled side.<\/p>\n
He says there would be no “knee-jerk reaction” and full-back Louis Rees-Zammit appears to have done enough to keep the number 15 jersey.<\/p>\n
The former NFL triallist was making his first Six Nations appearance for almost three years and is settling into a new position after switching from the wing.<\/p>\n
After a shaky start where he had an early kick charged down, Rees-Zammit settled down and produced one searing second-half break.<\/p>\n
“He did well in his first start at 15 in a while for us,” said Tandy.<\/p>\n
“In Test match rugby, there’s not much space but I thought he adapted with the aerial battles.<\/p>\n
“He’s a big man and lit the game up in moments. It’s looking how we can get more of those moments.”<\/p>\n
So maybe one thing for Welsh fans hold on to. There is currently not much more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
