Wales started the Six Nations with a whimper. They ended it in disbelief.
As the shock of defeat to Italy sank in around the Principality Stadium, many in red jerseys stood there motionless. Just one, Josh Adams, sunk to his haunches. The official man of the match, the Cardiff winger had, at times, taken the fight to the Italians single-handedly. A sad indictment of Wales' performance if ever there was one.
As Italian tears started to flow, it would be Adams who picked up fly-half Paolo Garbisi from the turf after his match-winning conversion. Overcome by emotion, Adams simply offered him an embrace.
