Wales suffered another defeat, marking their 14th consecutive loss and likely securing them a second successive wooden spoon. In a match overshadowed by unfavorable conditions, Wales could not provide a real contest against Italy, failing to construct offensive plays. Warren Gatland's side lacked a coherent strategy, relying on ineffective kicks and feeble attacks. Despite a few promising moments, such as an early chance that went awry, the team could not regain momentum after conceding key penalties. Italy capitalized on their opportunities, highlighting Wales's ongoing struggles and disarray within the team.
The most damning point is that this never felt like a contest. Wales simply failed to manufacture a challenge.
Gatland's team now appear bereft of any plan at all beyond aimless kicks and toothless carries.
