England humbling a game too far for ‘emotional’ Wales

Interim Wales head coach Matt Sherratt admitted Saturday’s record home defeat to England was “a game too many” as he stressed the players needed support and a reset to get back to winning ways.

England were superior from start to finish at the Principality Stadium, running in 10 tries to canter to a 68-14 victory in what was the final match of Sherratt’s short-term spell.

The Cardiff boss insisted the size of the loss would not impact the way he viewed his four weeks in charge or the fact he feels improvements have been made in that time.

However, Sherratt admitted events during the Guinness Six Nations, which included the departure of previous coach Warren Gatland, had taken their toll on the squad.

“It looked like a game too many didn’t it,” he said after Wales fell to a 17th consecutive Test defeat. “As well, we’ve got to be aware probably the last seven to eight weeks have been pretty emotional.

“The playing group has been through a fair bit, and the staff, and little things went against us in the game today and it probably opened up some wounds.

“So, we came up against a good England side and, yeah, little things didn’t go our way either.”

Sherratt added: “I just think they need support. As I said, they’re a good group of lads, there’s some really good players in the room as well.

“They just need to try and reset and as you know there’s going to be some fresh appointments over the next couple of weeks and I think it’s just about resetting and trying to move forward as quickly as possible because today is disappointing, it’s devastating for the players.”

Sherratt will return to Cardiff now the championship is over with the Welsh Rugby Union due to appoint a new director of rugby and head coach to take the team forward.

“There’s a reset going on,” Sherratt said. “There’s going to be a new director of rugby, a new head coach and I think the next camp has to feel fresh for the players.”

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
