Wales Head Coach Warren Gatland expressed uncertainty about the team’s future after they were unable to secure a win against the Flying Fijians in Cardiff. This match marked another disappointment in their ongoing winless streak.
With challenging fixtures ahead, including games against the Wallabies and the reigning Rugby World Cup champions, South Africa, Gatland expressed his frustration. “Hopefully, it’s next week, but it was supposed to be today,” he said during the post-match commentary.
Gatland noted that the team faced some unfavorable decisions during the game, adding to their disappointment. “We are frustrated because it was definitely a game we were going out there to win,” he remarked, acknowledging that they fell short of their goal.
He highlighted the unpredictable nature of Fiji’s gameplay, which allowed them to remain competitive throughout the match. “Knowing what Fiji are like, they hang in the game, they throw the ball around, and then they get excited by those sorts of things. They were able to put us under all sorts of pressure,” Gatland explained.
Despite the setbacks, Gatland identified some positive aspects of the performance but emphasized the need to focus on what lies ahead for the Welsh team.
This situation presents an opportunity for the Welsh side to regroup and learn from their experiences as they prepare for the upcoming matches. There’s hope that with continued effort and determination, they can turn their fortunes around and reclaim their winning form in future games.
