The man who appointed Wayne Pivac says coach got it 'miserably wrong' as he calls for major WRU change

Former Welsh Rugby Union chairman Gareth Davies believes Wayne Pivac got his selection "miserably wrong" ahead of the defeat to Italy as he called for major changes to Welsh rugby.

Davies, who appointed Pivac as Warren Gatland's successor back in 2018, admitted that he had been worried about the Six Nations match with Italy due to the attention in the build-up being shifted from the Italians to Welsh milestones. With the focus on Alun Wyn Jones and Dan Biggar winning their 150th and 100th Welsh caps respectively, the former Wales and Lions fly-half felt a little uneasy about things.

"Where I think Wayne and the team got it wrong was the whole selection and build up," he told BBC Radio Wales.
