Wales were giants of rugby union in the 1960s and 70s, but are now struggling to compete at the top end of the sport. The men's team are currently enduring a historically difficult period, losing 23 of their last 25 matches. This includes a streak of 18 consecutive Test defeats that only ended in July 2025 with a victory against Japan. In the Six Nations, they have suffered 13 successive losses, only five years after winning the competition.
