The big dates for Welsh rugby in 2026
Can the new year bring some relief on the pitch for Welsh rugby after a miserable 2025?
www.bbc.comThe Wales national rugby union team has experienced a challenging period, with a prolonged spell of defeats that continued into 2024, including an 11-match losing streak. They also had a disappointing Autumn Nations campaign and suffered a notable loss to Fiji at the Millennium Stadium in 2024. In 2025, Wales struggled with multiple losses, but a win against Japan provided some respite. Looking to improve, the team named an unchanged squad for their final Six Nations game against Italy in 2026, aiming for their first home win in the competition in four years. The focus has been on rebuilding and seeking a positive home record.
