Struggling Wales aiming to deliver ecstasy at last
The Straits Times
|November 10, 2024
Warren Gatland has insisted that he is "relishing the pressure", even though Wales are on the brink of equalling their all-time record losing streak ahead of their November opener against Fiji in Cardiff on Nov 10.
-
The veteran New Zealander's second spell as Wales rugby coach is proving markedly less successful than his first, with the side having lost their past nine Tests.
Defeat by Fiji at the Principality Stadium would mean that they would lose 10 in a row for only the second time in their history - the first time was during the 2002-03 season under Steve Hansen.
"Every loss is a bind. But the bind is the pressure you guys (media) put on, not the pressure we have internally," Gatland said on Nov 8 after naming his team to play Fiji.
