Biggar: Wales without believing and confidence
Former Wales International Dan Biggar said ITV:
“If you look at the games that have lost in the last 12 months, today he has been the poorest appearance in that ride.
“It’s hard to say because there are a lot of good people there, but it just doesn’t work. Whatever happens on Monday to Friday, it doesn’t move to the field on Saturday.
“Wales has Ireland in Cardiff in two weeks, travel to Scotland and welcome to England.
“This team looks one that was recorded by belief and confidence. We continue to ask the same questions, but what are the answers. I’m not sure. The curve was down.”
“I don’t think anything out of the table at this point, it can’t be. It can’t go on.
“It’s a shame because there are so many good people who have had success before, but obviously what’s going on there in the week is not doing.”
What is next?
Six nations are advocating for Fallow Week, after which Wales hosted Ireland in Cardiff on February 22 (starting 2.15pm), and Italy welcomed France on February 2nd in Rome (beginning at 15:00).
