This Saturday, in Test-Match, Wales recorded its 18th consecutive defeat after being beaten by Japan (24-19).
Wales definitely does not do it. This Saturday, as part of a test-matching test on the side of Kitakyushu, the selection of rugby recorded its 18th consecutive defeat. It was, this time, Japan who beat the Welsh, on the score of 24 to 19. However, Wales led for a long time, up to ten minutes before the end of this meeting (19-7), before to eventually be overturned. The start of the match had been ideal for European selection.
The Ben Thomas Center had put his own on good rails, before being imitated by the winger Tom Rogers. The Welshman was then able to take advantage of a penalty test. But, during the second period, the men of Matt Sherratt, temporary coach since the middle of the last edition of the Six Nations tournament, were unable to register the slightest point.
Wales has not won since the last World Cup
Japan, for its part, has therefore benefited, thanks to two processed tests as well as a penalty. Wales therefore does not definitely come out of the worst period in its history. His latest success dates back to October 7, 2023, against the selection of Georgia, on the occasion of the last edition of the World Cup.
The leek XV will have the opportunity to break, perhaps, finally this curse and to definitively end its ordeal.
Indeed, a second meeting is planned against Japan, on Saturday July 12, at 7:50 am French time. This time it will be on the side of Kobe. Another European selection was released this Saturday morning. On the side of New Zealand, Scotland had the last word against the Maori All Blacks, despite a good comeback, at the very end of the game, their opponents of the day (26-29). The Ecossais will continue with the Fiji, next Saturday.
