Wales Head Coach Warren Gatland expressed uncertainty about the team’s future following their inability to secure a victory against Fiji in Cardiff. The match highlighted the continuing winless streak for Wales, which was particularly disappointing considering the upcoming challenges of facing Australia and reigning Rugby World Cup champions South Africa.
In his post-match remarks, Gatland conveyed his frustration, stating, “We were pretty unlucky on a couple of calls that had gone against us. We are frustrated because it was definitely a game we were going out there to win, and we have come up a bit short.” He acknowledged the unpredictable nature of Fiji’s gameplay, noting, “Knowing what Fiji are like, they hang in the game, throw the ball around, and get excited by those sorts of things. Then they were able to put us under all sorts of pressure.”
Despite the setback, Gatland pointed out that there were some positives to take away from the match. He emphasized the need for the team to refocus as they prepare for their next opponents.
This moment can serve as a turning point for Wales, as they strive to learn from their experience and improve their performance in upcoming matches. By addressing their weaknesses and capitalizing on the positives, the team retains the potential to bounce back and regain their confidence on the rugby field.
