Too many errors, but future's bright

IT HAS been the longest Welsh rugby season I can remember and the second Test with Argentina proved a step too far for Wayne Pivac’s side. The Pumas thoroughly deserved to win and claim the series 1-0.

They would probably have come out on top 2-0 had they kept 15 players on the pitch in the first game, I don’t think anyone can deny that.

Wales would have been desperate to end the 2021-22 campaign on a high. They didn’t manage to do it, but Wayne should be happy on the whole with how the last 12 months have gone.

I would give Wales a B+ for the season as a whole. It could even be an A – if I’m generous!

With the Covid-19 pandemic we have all been through so much and from a rugby perspective it is hard to remember when one season finished and the next began!

In the last 12 to 18 months following Wales has certainly been like riding a rollercoaster! When the 2020 Six Nations returned after Covid lessened, Wales were poor and lost to Scotland.

They then got even worse and had a shocking Autumn Nations Cup campaign where they beat only Georgia and Italy before rising like a phoenix from the ashes to win the 2021 Six Nations.

Wayne’s men came so close to a Grand Slam, too.

This summer, with their best players with the British & Irish Lions, Wales have looked at the next generation and they have been entirely right to do so.
