‘I can’t see any signs of life’: Welsh fans on France drubbing

Local TV

Wales’ national rugby team is a symbol of the country, but at the moment they’re flying the flag at half mast. After a full calendar year of losses in 2024, there was hope 2025 would be the year we get back to winning ways, but after a 43-0 drubbing by France, Welsh fans are concerned for the future of Welsh rugby.

00:00Very poor, very poor. Things can only get better. We're at the bottom now. They've got

00:07to build up again. As he says, it's the young side, so you'll always improve with the young

00:12side if you've got a good coach, won't you? Maybe you have to change a coach, you never

00:16know, but these things do happen. I mean, England didn't have it all their own way either,

00:23so yes, it's got to be improved. It can't be like last season, and hopefully it'll do better.

00:31I don't know what the hell happened. I remember our team, Wales, being the best, but games

00:40happen like that all the time, sadly, so it'll only take a matter of time for that to worsen.

00:45It was absolutely diabolical. I said I didn't see every bit of it because I was in a pub

00:52at the time, playing Skittles, but I did watch it. I knew what was coming, so I wasn't

00:56really concentrating. I didn't expect us to be zero, but it is what it is, isn't it?

01:04I don't know where it's going. Something's got to happen, not just on the field, but

01:15behind the scenes. They just didn't turn up, did they? They just didn't turn up at all, never.

01:20All I hope is that Italy don't beat them. That would be a disaster if Italy beat them,

01:25because Italy's on the up. They've improved every season. You can see the strength coming in,

01:31and they are trying. But as I say, they're improving, so we can only do the same.

01:39No, I can't see any signs of life, to be honest with you. Our regional rugby is rubbish compared

01:45to all of the other home nations and France, so where can we go from there? Our players can't get

01:51better rugby unless they go abroad, and then they can't play for Wales, so it's a lose-lose.
