🏉 **Rugby Round-Up: A Tough Weekend for Wales & Scotland**
Wales’ Head Coach, Steve Tandy, didn’t hold back after his team’s rough 48-7 loss to England. It marked their 12th consecutive defeat in the Six Nations. Tandy cited poor discipline, with Wales conceding 16 penalties and ending up with four players seeing yellow. “Playing England with a full squad is tough enough, but being down to 13 men for 20 minutes was brutal,” Tandy admitted. The Welsh side struggled to gain any momentum, highlighting the need for improved accuracy and discipline.
Meanwhile, over in Scotland, the heat is on for Gregor Townsend. After a close 18-15 loss to Italy, media outlets didn’t mince words, calling for a change in leadership. Critics argue Townsend’s strategies aren’t moving the team forward, dubbing him a “lame duck.” Despite the criticism, Townsend stands firm, focused on the upcoming Calcutta Cup match against England.
On the other side of the tunnel, England’s Jamie George is buoyant after their convincing win over Wales. With preparations underway for their clash against Scotland, George believes the strong start is the perfect platform to build upon. “We wanted to start with a bang, and we did just that,” he said. The team’s intensity and cohesion during the game has set a promising tone for the rest of the tournament.
