@ChrisSru880101 Not a great side and unsold say worse than last week - no consistency in selection and I’ve still no idea what we are actually trying to do game plan wise. Defence is non-existent just now so you should fancy your chances.

Welsh fans is this team better or worse than last week’s side? Think Scotland need a fast start on Saturday, keep the crowd quiet. If that 16th man get going, may be a long day for us

@BBCSportWales @BBCScrumV Sadly this result isn’t a surprise and I’d be surprised if this is seen as a shock by many people. The performance was better than last week but we are miles off the strongest Tier 1 nations. Scotland and Italy at home will still be the guide to where we are at.

FT! Wales emphatically outclassed by France in Cardiff 🏉 #BBCRugby

@BBCScrumV Set piece was good but defence still a huge problem. Get someone in full time instead of Tandy trying to cover a little bit of everything. A lot more heart today and we lost to a very good France team. Take the positives and move forward!

Is it a game plan problem or execution 🤔 Let us know tour thoughts in the comments 💭 #bbcrugby #SixNations2026 #WALvFRA

@BBCScrumV We could have been blown away at 19-0 down but they dug deep and showed some heart. Not seeing any attacking structure though and our kicking game is poor and just letting them attack us at will from deep.

What did you make of the first half ⁉️ #bbcrugby #sixnations2026 #walvfra

@BBCScrumV @BBCRadioWales @BBCSounds @BBCSport That was an embarrassing 40 minutes. Dreadful discipline and mistake after mistake. Not seeing much by way of fire in the belly either.

@Rdj18781 @WalesRugby Too early……..

@WalesRugby I can’t believe wakes have lost to Japan at home. Shocking

Ugly Josh Adams incident sees Wales star sent off amid little sympathy walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/ru…

I have got a Rhynie Reds flag that was left behind at Cappielow today by a gentleman. Can my AFC followers do a retweet so I can get it reunited with its owner @AFCspareTickets

@BBCScrumV Extremely disappointing. Had the game under control and fell apart - our replacements had no impact at all and I thought they would have the quality and experience to see us home. We stopped playing in the second half and deservedly got beaten.

How do you assess Wales' defeat to Japan? 🤔 Comment your thoughts! 💭 #BBCRugby

@RedsDht Oh yes!!!

Can we just all agree that NOTHING beats being there? 🏆 🟥⬜️🟥

@oldfastbowler Start with beer to warm up - cider remains an option if the weather is good. Variety is the spice of life after all!!

@AllenShaw1 I know Al, but I'm trying to be good #not good #beerorcider

11.13 first boundary. Too early? #beer #ohglammyglammy

@simonrug I don’t think it was. England were relatively efficient but turgid and Scotland played all of the good rugby. Ritchie, Lowe and VdM all lively and we will need to have our wits about us against that back line.

I only caught the very end of England v Scotland as I was writing about Wales v Ireland. Was that result a fair reflection of the game overall? Which players impressed?

@simonrug Great performance by the youngsters. On the edge of my seat regularly but they fronted up throughout. Amazing!

What a result for Wales U20s! They have beaten their Irish counterparts 20-12 at Rodney Parade. Just an incredible defensive effort from the Welsh youngsters who put in some 225 tackles in the face of intense pressure. Prop Sam Scott Player of the Match.

@AnfieldWatch 2-0 to the RedMen

Score predictions? 🤔

@simonrug Plenty of dog and no shortage of attacking intent with limited ball from the Ospreys. Mark Jones getting a tune out of them.

F-T: Ospreys 19, Leinster 22. A stirring effort from the Ospreys who got it back to within one score three times with tries from Player of the Match Harri Deaves, Ethan Lewis and Cam Jones, but Leinster make it 15 wins out of 15 in all competitions this term.

@WelshRugbyUnion Second best all over the park.

29: Allen extends the Italy lead with three points off the tee. 🇮🇹13-3🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #GuinnessM6N | #ITAvWAL

@garethmapp @BBCScrumV I can’t disagree with that. Frustrating that we seem to be out muscled just about every game nowadays. It feels like we’ve stood still and everyone else has gone forwards.

@AllenShaw1 @BBCScrumV Agreed but we were close on power to most teams. Since RWC19 all other teams have focused on improving power whilst at the same time our pro player development has reduced funding and withered.

Wow. 😳 Wales are soundly defeated in the Stade de France to make it 13 losses in a row for Warren Gatlands side. ❌ Thoughts? 💭 #BBCRugby #SixNations #FRAvWAL
