Former Wales international slams 'dreadful' atmosphere at Wales v New Zealand

Former Wales and Lions star John Devereux has described the atmosphere at the Principality Stadium on the weekend as “dead and dreadful”.

Devereux says you were able to hear a pin drop inside the ground as New Zealand romped to an eight-try 55-23 victory over Wayne Pivac’s Welsh team.

The 21-cap ex-centre believes part of the problem is a lot of spectators these days are not from rugby club backgrounds, while he also points to the amount of time people spend out of their seats going to the bars.
