  • Signs of Life? Wales Push NZ Before Fading | Ben Coles on Tandy’s Rebuild & WRU Turmoil

    Signs of Life? Wales Push NZ Before Fading | Ben Coles on Tandy’s Rebuild & WRU Turmoil
    Nov 25 2025
    This week on The Attacking Scrum, Ged welcomes Ben Coles from The Observer to break down Wales’ performance in their defeat to New Zealand, a match where, despite a 26–52 scoreline, there were genuine signs of progress under new head coach Steve Tandy. Ben explains why Wales’ first 50 minutes showed far more fight and structure than many expected, from Tom Rogers’ historic hat-trick to a dominant aerial battle and a clearer tactical identity. We explore whether this marks the beginning of a rebuild or simply a rare bright spell in a turbulent era. The conversation also dives deep into the chaos surrounding the WRU and the regional restructure, with ongoing uncertainty over which region will disappear as Welsh rugby moves from four teams to three. Ben gives insight into how the instability is affecting players, coaches, and the national side’s ability to prepare. Looking ahead, Ged and Ben preview a daunting clash with South Africa, with Wales set to lose several players due to release regulations, and discuss what “progress” really looks like at this stage of the rebuild.

    Last-Kick Drama: Wales Edge Japan, Nations Championship Plans Revealed | With Luke Upton
    Nov 18 2025
    This week on The Attacking Scrum, Ged is joined by writer and rugby storyteller Luke Upton to break down a huge few days for Welsh rugby. Wales finally claimed their first home victory in two years, but they had to do it the hard way, leaving it until Jarrod Evans’ last-kick winner against Japan. Ged and Luke discuss the performance, the positives and concerns, and what this dramatic finish tells us about where Wales are heading under Steve Tandy. With the dust still settling, attention turns to the announcement of Wales’ plans for the new Nations Championship, how the structure will impact Tier 1 and Tier 2 competition, and what it means for long-term Welsh development and competitiveness. Then it’s back to Welsh rugby politics: the latest twist in the WRU vs regions dispute, including reports that Dragons representatives walked out just 10 minutes into a meeting with the union. What does this say about trust, communication, and the direction of the professional game? Finally, the boys look ahead to the Wales v All Blacks clash, selection questions, tactical tweaks, and whether Wales can build on the Japan win or risk being overwhelmed.

    Nov 11 2025
    This week on The Attacking Scrum, Ged is joined by rugby writer Iestyn Thomas to react to a challenging start to Steve Tandy’s reign as Wales head coach, as his side are brushed aside by Argentina in his first match in charge. Was it all bad news, or were there some signs of progress amid the defeat? Ged and Iestyn break down the performance, from defensive structure and discipline to the new coaching approach, and ask whether Tandy’s ideas are beginning to take shape. They also discuss the devastating injury to Jac Morgan, what his absence means for leadership and selection, and who might step up ahead of the Japan game. From tactics and team identity to player development and pathways, this episode takes a balanced look at where Welsh rugby stands after Week One of the Steve Tandy era and what needs to happen next.
