Wales have never gone into a tournament in worse form. If I said: “Wales are looking all right, they’ve got a chance” I think that would be disingenuous. Wales are really, really struggling.

Warren Gatland has had some incredible success in this tournament, but if you’re the head coach of a team that have lost 12 on the spin, coming off the back of the wooden spoon last year, you are under serious pressure. Warren knows that, but something has to change. There are some players who don’t know what it’s like to win in a Welsh shirt and they’ve been there for over a year, which is just a mad, mad stat.

Scrum-half Tomos Williams has been brilliant for Gloucester. He’s going to have to drive the team around. He’ll give them control, confidence and experience that a lot of the rest haven’t got. It’s really tough to see how Wales can not repeat what happened in 2024.

If they got two wins in this tournament, off the back of the last 12 months, that’s a pretty successful campaign.
IN A WORD: “Deflated”
