Beaten 48-7 by England at Twickenham and crushed 54-12 by France in Cardiff, it has been a demoralizing start to the Six Nations for Wales. And things don’t get any easier for Steve Tandy’s charges as they welcome a Scotland side riding high after a memorable win over England.
At the start of the championship, Wales fans would have watched this match with some hope. But after Scotland’s hugely impressive 31-20 win at Murrayfield last weekend to lift the Calcutta Cup, they will now fear a 14th consecutive Six Nations defeat.
That could lead to another relatively poor attendance at the Principality Stadium, where just 57,744 turned up to watch the loss to France last Sunday. It was well down on the usual 70,000+ that Wales have been used to playing in front of in recent years.
With Wales having lost 23 Tests in their last 25 matches, it is hardly surprising that supporters are losing faith. However, there is still a glimmer of hope as they pushed Scotland hard last year in the narrow 35-29 defeat at Murrayfield. Gregor Townsend’s side were also uncharacteristically poor in the opening weekend of matches, losing to Italy in Rome.
Scotland will believe the result was simply a sham and, after producing a brilliant display to beat England, will look to sweep Wales aside and keep their hopes of winning the title alive.
