It is now 10 straight Six Nations defeats for Wales, and back-to-back whitewashes.

For three games in this tournament, there were flashes of progress, particularly in attack against Scotland and England and Sean Lynn’s side were resilient for long periods against France.

But the performances against Ireland and Italy have signified regression. For all the positive talk of late, the table does not lie and this is a team still a long way away from competing regularly with the best.
