Wales 14-68 England: Welsh rugby suffers new low


Former Wales hooker Ken Owens: “It is a dark day and tough to watch. I can’t question the effort of the players as they are trying their heart out.

“We can’t match teams physically to give the likes of Jarrod Evans and Ben Thomas an opportunity to test defences.

“The best teams that are physical can absorb us. That is the sad part of where we are at in Welsh rugby at the moment.”

Former Wales captain Sam Warburton: “If you win the power game so convincingly there’s nothing the other team can do.

This is international rugby, it’s a brutal and physical sport and power wins and England completely obliterated Wales.

They were just physically far superior. There was nothing Wales could do and that was the hardest watch for me, because it just showed the gulf in physicality.

Speaking on ITV, former Wales fly-half Dan Biggar: “Firstly it was a really deflating day in Cardiff for any Welsh fan.

“There was a lot of hope going into the game, but ultimately they were overpowered and that’s the way the game is at the minute.

“Looking further ahead, they’ve got a big tour to Japan this summer which becomes crucial for World Cup seeding.

“The powers that be in the WRU now, if you’re not going to make tough decisions when you’ve lost 17 on the spin, then you probably never will.

“Something drastic and big changes are going to have to happen in Welsh rugby, that’s stating the obvious.”
