- A dark day for #Wales #Rugby. Not just because they were beaten at home by #Italy in the #SixNations but because they slumped to 5th in the final Six Nations table to with one win in five games. Welsh captain Dan Biggar fronted up afterwards and gave an honest interview about what happened and what lies ahed for some players in the squad.

Brilliant win by Italy.. Outplayed the opposition and got the result they deserved..
Was only by 1 point, I doubt they will win again
Josh Adams epitomizes everything that is noble and sportsmanlike….he is a true professional;his arrogant captain should take a leaf out of his book.
As an Italian, Wales are great people, honoured to have played you guys. You will be back.
Top stuff from Dan 'If only my teammates were as good as me' Biggar.
Dreadful interview, not once did he give any credit to Italy. Italy were awesome and Wales were found out.
Concentrating on giving Biggs and Alun Wyn a good day for their Caps and not concentrating on simple ball skills that should be 2nd nature. It's what Graham Henry found two and a half decades ago.
It wasn't a fluke either. Italy out played them and deserved the win. Wales had to rely on their world class players to create tries while tactically not firing a shot all game.
Which world-class players would those be?
It's a shame he didn't even mention the italian performance.
You got to take into consideration he's pissed off that Wales lost. Hardly anyone expected Italy to win, he's probably in shock. That being said, Italy were awesome and thoroughly deserved the win. Congratulations Italy 🇮🇹👍
@@mikeymuscles he's looked pissed off at his team mates quite a few times the past few months, and when you watch play off the ball I understand. Some of the effort from players has been well below par. He's right when he says that's the last chance for some of these players
@@kentendo6453 agree 100%
@@mikeymuscles obviously I'm not taking anything away from Italy. They came with a game plan, executed it and stole it, deservedly at the end. Wales under Pivac look lost and zero consistency in our performances since he took over. I help train youths in offence and told them explicitly to avoid anything they see from this team at the moment. Since when is it accepted that international players can't fix a defensive
You missed the part where he gave his MOTM medal to Capuozzo ?? After the game clearly he respects and acknowledges their performance ? Nothing is a shame about him being pissed off at losing
Really classy of him to recognise Italy's contribution to the game...oh wait!
Typical of that kind of games, where nothing much is at stake anymore for Wales, while Italian were playing as if their lives were depending.
This is rugby Union there is always something to play for , ridiculous comment .
Lol. If Italy had not scored at the end. Would he have made the same comments? A great try won it and Italy very nearly.scored another amazing try. They were nothing to do with poor Welsh play.
His speech is like "how did we lose against 15 pizza men??"
If Wales had won, he would have said it was a tough game, that Italy played well but it's not good enough to win against Wales ecc.
Even if Wales had won it would still had been a poor performance against the weakest of the 6N teams ...Wales where the only team to loose against them with the others getting big scores against them...I’m sure Wales will learn from this & come back stronger
Understandably, he’s pissed off! I would be pissed of too, loosing a game like that...pardon, playing a game like that! The welsh team thought they could walk over the Italians like..as usual..but they found out very soon that this wasn’t going to be a walk in the park. They looked empty, no gas left in the tank..a part from a couple of other welsh players really wanting to win! Bottom line is..Italy won, a win is a win, even by 1 single point.
Biggar is such a great player . Good luck to him . Wish we had a stand off like him and a skipper too instead of the pair of big heads we have
I think for this Wales team it looks like a mentality thing. They have talent, they can turn it around as they have shown greatness like agains France.
I don’t know what happened. Wales scored 3 tries and Josh Adams had a great attitude
It took balls to face the interviewer after that result ..
He’s always blaring on and off the pitch
I presume he's including himself in that ?
Heads should rightly roll after that performance. This whole six nations has been dire. Absolutely appalling against Ireland, ground out an unimpressive win against Scotland, 3 tries to 1 against England but let themselves lose the match through ill-discipline, all the territory and possession against France but no attacking ability, and then capped it all off with the most abysmal and lacklustre performance of the past 15 years which resulted in a loss against Italy.
Just shocking.
A bit like the coaching team specifically the head coach why do you make seven changes after taking france to the wire
@@leslierowe8476 That’s a very good point, one I agree with whole heartedly! The only reason I can think of is that Pivac thought we’d walk all over Italy and have a party atmosphere for Biggar’s 100 and Alun Wyn’s 150 caps!! Well that went well😂! Credit to Italy they thoroughly deserved their win!
Wales weren't that bad against Italy, we did have certain players under-performing though. Italy used strategy and kicked for territory that bewildered us and they also played with confidence and went through the phases getting over the gain-line.
What happened to the basics scrim half to fly half kick ball into touch why oh why did he just hoof the ball down field and give it straight back to Italy this habit has sadly been there for Wales for a long time in 2015 Jonathan Davies all he had to do was kick the ball to touch but just kicked it down field result of that was England scored the winning try and won the game exactly the same happened Saturday we love u boys but u need to look at this
Doesn’t sound very Welsh does he
Sorry am I going mad here- thats absolutely not his call to make?! He’s not even Wales permanent captain, or is he? I get he’s a passionate player but shouldn’t really be throwing stuff like that out there when anyone (including him) is droppable. I maybe understand if Italy were shit on the day but they outplayed Wales?
Italy still not good enough to be in six nations
I've never liked him as a captain tbh, I feel he's more about Dan Bigger than he is about the team.
I realise that Alun Winn is a very tough act to follow but you felt he'd walk through walls for his team and his team would do the same for him
He's much biggar than the team in fairness.
I wonder when he will tell his son he was a mouthy cheat as a rugby player.
I have never liked Biggar …sorry why did he not acknowledge that the better side won and why bring his kid to the interview…d…..
Wales were shite all tournament. They are ageing out of a good generation and they don’t have the players or the game plan anymore. They have no flair and no excitement.
T0 .Dan and son lost ltaly
WALES CAN PRODUCE A FAST FLOWING GAME.....DONT TAKE IT TO HEART ...YOU WILL RISE FROM THIS.....I AM AN ENGLISH ...SUPPORTER....COME ON YOU BOYOS
He is probably right, but he is not one who has to judge his teammates and make selection, also, it is not the right time to say it. He is basically saying "it's not my fault, my teammates sucks"
Exactly. I wouldn’t be happy if I was a Wales player. It’s not like he was amazing either.
it was his decision not kick a penalty when Wales were 6-0 down and not getting over the goal line, he was there in Australia when the same thing happened multiple times. sometimes you just have to take the points and then get the ball kicked back to you.
Where does he say it isn't his fault... he just said they played poorly.
@@Dan-dd8cf "is the last chance for a lot of players", I didn't seem to me that he was including himself in this group of players not deserving to play at international level. He is a top name in rugby, we know he deserves it, and he knows we know. So, what I get from this interview is, some of the other players are not good enough, and I don't think he includes himself in this group, he has 100 caps and he is a Lions, of course he deserves to be there.
Maybe I am mistaken and I know he was rightfully pissed.
@@Dan-dd8cf You don’t actually think he meant he himself should never play for Wales again?
He clearly meant other players and that’s a pretty shitty bit of captaining.
There's an assumption that Italy should be beaten easily but actually they are a hard working professional outfit and it was only a matter of time before they turned over one of the other six nations teams, Wales didn't play badly and could easily have won the game if there were another 20 minutes to play but Italy struck at the perfect moment well done to them !!!
Bit disrespectful for Biggar to carry the Italian fullback in his arms for the whole interview.
LOL
🤣😱😳🧐😭🤣
Ha, nice. Yeah, he should have at least let him stand, but then it's also disrespectful to be there gloating!
Very unsportsmanlike didn’t once compliment Italy neither did Welsh coach, great effort Italy well done you deserve it
He doesn't need to compliment Italy, he will be angry that his players lost the game. One thing he can certainly be angry about is the lack of effort and concentration which seems to be evident. He will want to perform for the welsh people and make the welsh happy, there is no need to compliment Italy, maybe it would of been nice for Italy but what he is saying is true.
Bloody right too, as a Welshman, after a loss like that I dont want him congratulating anyone. When Wales knocked England out of their own world cup in 2015, do you think Lancaster said "well played Wales" you were the better team and in his interview Mike Brown was so angry and upset he was choking, do you think he was gonna say well played great win Wales, of course not. These players and coaches are top professionals, if they lose they are angry and upset. TBH I am shocked and disgusted that Wales lost to Italy and I want Dan and Pivac to feel the same. Dan is a great player and has been a wonderful servant for Wales and the Lions, he's also a lovely bloke and he probably had a few beers with the Italian boys after the game and congratulated them then, he usually does.
@@peteryoungpeteryoung965yeah I was livid too, I agree, I think it is unlucky that Dan didn't congratulate Italy. People think that just because he didn't do it publicly then he didn't congratulate them at all.
He's being asked about Wales' performance and he's answering about Wales' performance. That's not unsportsmanlike, that's called answering the questions he was asked.
@@peteryoungpeteryoung965 Wales were shite let the better team win
It’s not really his place to say some players will not be selected again.
The game was lost in the first half when Wales were 6-0 down and up against the Italian goal line and failing to get over it and should have taken 3 points from the penalty and get the ball kicked back to them. They disrespected Italy and it bit them in the arse.... from a Welshman.
70 min mark penalty in front of Half way, Biggar has the range and has kicked penalties from there before.
Perhaps if a captain managed the game and his team better they wouldn't of lost? Just shows the mentality of Biggar, he should accept responsibility as much as any of the team but he's too narcissistic. Wales need to hand the captaincy to someone else.
Very childish interview from a cry baby, beaten because of your own discipline.
Dear Dan you are a very great player buy you was the First that made a Mistake. The next time kick for goal and for touche.
