The Welsh Rugby Union have insisted they remain committed to their plan that will take the senior men’s team through to the 2023 Rugby World Cup, despite the recent Six Nations disaster.
Wales concluded the 2022 tournament by losing at home to Italy for the first time in history, resigning them to a fifth-placed finish in the table and failing to defend their title. It was a defeat that put head coach Wayne Pivac under significant pressure 18 months out from the World Cup amid calls for his job.
Asked whether he was confident in Pivac’s ability to take Wales through to the World Cup, WRU CEO Steve Phillips said: “We are all in this together. It is a case of plotting the journey, we have looked back at it, it’s a case of making sure the plan is still right.
