Wales star Nick Tompkins has revealed the national team walked off the training pitch in the tumultous week that shook Welsh rugby during this year's Six Nations as he opened up about the "sad and scary" reality facing players amid all the uncertainty.
Warren Gatland's side's clash with England hung in the balance for days as players threatened to go on strike due to a contract dispute with Welsh rugby bosses, with the situation forcing Gatland to postpone his team announcement and call off a training session which he said was to let his squad "get away from it and refocus".
While the dispute later came to a resolution on a dramatic day that saw the strikes called off and changes including the scrapping of the 60-cap law introduced, Tompkins has confirmed players walked off the training pitch as their frustration at the uncertainty surrounding the Welsh game came to a head.
