Ioan Cunningham: Wales coach set to leave after turbulent 2024


With more than 30 players now on full-time deals, Wales ran in tries for fun with convincing wins over Ireland, Scotland and Italy.

They rose to an all-time high world ranking of sixth and secured their place in the top tier of a new global tournament, WXV1.

But on their return to New Zealand, Wales were given a sobering reminder of the gap that exists between them and the top nations, with defeats to Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Still they insisted they wanted to play the best to be the best.

Then came the dismal 2024 Six Nations, with Wales managing just one win against Italy and earning the dreaded wooden spoon.

They qualified for WXV2 via a play-off with Spain and beat Australia for the first time in their history in a friendly at Rodney Parade as part of their preparations.

But that feat could not be repeated when it mattered in South Africa. Wales were woeful as they were outclassed by the Wallaroos and Italy, before salvaging a win against Japan.
