And it doesn’t get easier for Gatland and his men with the Principality Stadium playing host to South Africa in the final match of the Autumn Nations Series.

Thereon Wales will look to win a game in the Six Nations for the first time since 2023 having lost all five matches this year.

The run of poor performances could hinder the prospects of some players being included in the British and Irish Lions squad, which will tour Australia in the summer of next year.
