Read our privacy policy Nick Tompkins admits Wales’ current situation is “devastating” as another Guinness Six Nations campaign appears on the verge of ruins. A second successive wooden spoon seemingly awaits after a record drubbing by France was followed by a 22-15 defeat against Italy – Wales’ first in Rome for 17 years. No-one is going to do it for us.” Asked if there was a message for Wales supporters, who thronged the Italian capital, Tompkins added: “You want to say sorry. We want to keep going and hopefully we can give them something to cheer about.” Wales have now dropped to a new low of 12th in the World Rugby rankings, a place below Georgia, after an eighth Six Nations loss on the bounce.
