Wales Rugby Coach Admits Substitution Error
Wales' rugby coach Warren Gatland faced heavy criticism after a disastrous substitution error contributed to a 24-19 defeat against Fiji, marking the team's record-equalling 10th consecutive loss. The decision to replace injured winger Mason Grady with fly-half Sam Costelow, instead of the intended scrum-half Ellis Bevan, was a critical misstep that undermined the team's performance. Gatland acknowledged the communication breakdown, stating that they had already discussed Bevan's role in case of a winger injury, yet Costelow mistakenly assumed he would be the one to enter. The defeat also signifies a troubling period for Welsh rugby, as they have not won a match since defeating Georgia in the World Cup. Fiji capitalized on this opportunity, overcoming a red card for Semi Radradra to secure their first victory in Cardiff. Gatland urged for patience and time from fans, despite the mounting pressure surrounding his coaching tenure.
