Rugby legend Sir Ian McGeechan has spelt out his fears for Welsh rugby after dubbing the regions' performances in Europe this season as 'a train wreck'.
He warns Wales are hurtling backwards 'fast' and says the 'dark times' are creating a 'mood of despondency' here.
The former Lions boss expressed his concerns for the Welsh game as he surveyed a Heineken Cup final between La Rochelle and Leinster which McGeechan feels mirrors what has happened in the Six Nations, with France and Ireland the dominant forces.
