The Principality Stadium witnessed a nightmare of Welsh rugby, a 73-0 defeat to South Africa that left fans and players alike reeling.
This was not just a loss — it was a complete dismantling, a match that laid bare the gulf between Wales and the world’s elite, and a stark reminder of the challenges facing the national game. Even by Wales’ often turbulent standards, few results have been this humiliating.
