In this episode of Attacking Scrum, we break down the performance positives, the key moment that swung the match, and whether Steve Tandy’s message of pride over despair is the right approach. Away from the pitch, the crisis in Welsh rugby intensified as community clubs formally triggered an Emergency General Meeting of the Welsh Rugby Union, where a vote of no confidence in chair Richard Collier‑Keywood could reshape the future of the professional game. Grassroots pressure is growing amid anger over plans to reduce the number of regions, meaning the EGM could have major consequences for Welsh rugby’s direction. We also review England’s heavy defeat, France’s march toward the title, and what the wider Six Nations landscape tells us about where Wales really stand. An honest discussion about progress, pressure and the politics shaping Welsh rugby’s future. Learn more about your ad choices.
