Inconsistent Performance of Welsh Regions in 2023
In 2023, the Welsh regions collectively won only five games outside of Wales and had no wins against any Irish provinces. The teams have struggled in games abroad, with the only victories occurring against Pau and Zebre. The lack of consistency and challenging fixtures have posed difficulties for the Welsh regions. Moving forward into 2024, there is hope for improvement, but the challenges of squad sizes and international commitments remain. The upcoming Christmas Derby games will be crucial for the regions to assert themselves and regain confidence.
