Wales has had an up-and-down start to its new era as it has yet to win a game in the 2024 Six Nations, but has shown glimpses of promise. The squad has many exciting young players and could be an excellent team in the coming years. One of those players is Mason Grady, who has played well for Cardiff for a long time. Welsh rugby legends Alex Cuthbert and James Hook voiced their support for Grady.
James Hook On Mason Grady
Wales have suffered three losses to Scotland, England, and Ireland. Yet, in defeat, the side has shown some promising signs and has put it all on the line. They will welcome France to the Principality Stadium. It's a week from Saturday for an important game. People have called for Wales to start Grady. He has played well for Cardiff recently and could impact the international scene. The former Welsh international, Hook, gave his thoughts on the young player on Scrum V.
"He's been playing well for Cardiff all season and deserves an opportunity. Seeing him go through the whole Six Nations without a start would be a shame."
Alex Cuthbert Thoughts
Cuthbert supported Hook's train of thought by adding this.
"We need to get our best athletes on the ball. He needs a run of games; he's getting five, 10, 15 minutes a game, and he's not able to make any influence on the game. I want to see him involved off starters."

Grady is a great athlete, and seeing what he would do as a starter will be interesting. Wales has nothing to lose. They are out of title contention and should use this time to experiment with players. All the young players need to gain experience. It will be necessary for the future of the team. Furthermore, Grady has the potential to be a star.
