Adam Jones has insisted that Wales can retain their Six Nations title despite a string of defeats recently.
Wales completed the Grand Slam in March, but have lost their last seven matches, and dropped into the third tier of the world rankings.
The Ospreys prop told Sky Sports News: "There's a lot of talent in the squad. If we can get everyone fit, we can give anyone in the Six Nations a run for their money.
"A lot has been made about Warren Gatland being away on Lions duty but the coaches there are fantastic anyway.
"Of course Gats is a big influence, but I don't see why we can't retain our title. It's obviously going to be difficult, but I don't see why not."
Wales open their Six Nations campaign against Ireland on February 2.
