Wales destroyed by Eng in every part of the game. For once I agree with Martin Johnson, games like this are no benefit to Eng. I can’t see where wales goes now? Dire

@wendellpierce.bsky.social: “From the head of EU foreign affairs and security policy, after the Trump-Zelensky debacle: ‘Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to Europeans to take this challenge.’ That’s the Trump legacy: the incredible shrinking American stature.”

If the news of Gloucester signing Ross Byrne next season at Ten is accurate, it perhaps begs the question as to why Wales have returned to Anscombe to solve their issues at Test Match level.

I wanted Gatland to stay. I’m no international coach, but a passionate supporter. But admit, I don’t know why he didn’t play the Three quarters picked for Saturday. That was my first call. What did he see, that we didn’t?

So - let’s all pike onto Easterby as the next wales coach. Then after that game we can go after Townsend like mad, and then finally go hard after Borthwick. We don’t really want any of them… but let’s make them think it huh.

Just trying to get my head around the total disarray of the Men’s Welsh rugby team. How can it have gone so badly wrong - having been in camp for two weeks? #welshrugby #m6n

Final thoughts on Wales. Lack of on field leadership & communication an issue. Players lacking in confidence, very few actually stamping any authority. Lack of punch and dominance in contact, and really poor support around the field. Players need to take responsibility & accountability during the 80

In the last 10mins, Wales started to play with urgency, accuracy and focus. That took them close. Three key player changes appear to have made the difference.

Jac Morgan also made the most carries by a Welsh forward since 2009, and is ranked second of all players in the Championship so far for tackles made.

Here's a ranking of the top 5 most effective carriers in the forwards for Round 1 of the Six Nations. All stats are from the Six Nations website. #SixNations

Devesating injuries to the Welsh players on Friday eve. Good opportunity to bring Max Llewelyn in centre. Back row, tough gaps to fill. But Jac Morgan is the one to drive the pack from the front.

The world is a dark place right now. But I will take the prospect of the 2025 Six Nations Rugby to get me excited - regardless of the wales performance

Monday run. Nice and light. Last 100m, then my ankle found the pothole 10 Stitches later on one leg, ankle ligaments stretched on the other. Not one good working leg 🤦🏻

Absolute no brainer. Max Llewellyn, Gareth Anscombe & Tomos Williams should all be in the wales starting line up for six nations. #wru #sixnations #Gloucesterrugby

Didn’t watch any regional Welsh rugby over Christmas / new year. By all accounts I missed nothing. Overall opinion appears games were boring, poor quality, no attack, weak decision making, no accountability. Not great is it 😔 #welshrugby #wru

The other place has gone full on bizarre. Timeline flooded by posts from EM & DT neither of which I can block. It’s becoming a toxic platform for sure

Busy day didn’t go as planned got under pressure as it went on. Bad news end if the day. Totally drained. But a club run sprint efforts in snow revived my soul if not the problems
