Welsh rugby fans were left seething as they headed for the exits long before the final whistle in their clash against England at Allianz Stadium. Despite their devotion, supporters couldn’t bear to watch as Wales fell to a crushing 48-7 defeat in the Six Nations. The disappointing performance was marred by poor discipline, with four Welsh players seeing yellow, leaving them briefly down to 13 men.
Fans began making their way out with 20 minutes still on the clock and the score heavily tilted in England’s favour at 36-7. Frustration boiled over as some supporters vented about Wales’ repetitive tactics and lack of innovation. “A complete waste of my money and time,” one fan exclaimed. “If you’re going to be awful, try something different!”
Concerns were also voiced about the dwindling interest in rugby among younger fans, with one supporter lamenting the lack of passion and grassroots enthusiasm. “All the schools are football now,” they noted. “They need that (rugby passion) back.”
Despite the sombre mood, a few positives were highlighted, with Aaron Wainwright and Louis Rees-Zammit earning praise for their efforts. However, England’s Henry Arundell stole the show, bagging a hat-trick with just three touches, while George Ford expertly orchestrated the game from outside-half.
Wales’ solitary try came from Josh Adams after an impressive cross-field kick from Dan Edwards, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to mount any real threat. With England running in seven tries overall, fans had little to cheer about. As the gap between the sides seems to widen, many are left questioning the future of Welsh rugby.
