With Wales’ women losing all five of their Six Nations fixtures to emulate the men’s team’s unwanted record, we’re asking – when did Wales last win a rugby match?

It’s been a season to forget for Welsh rugby across the board, with both the men’s and now the women’s team suffering a humiliation in the Six Nations.

On Sunday, Wales’ women were on the receiving end of a 44-12 hammering in Italy to consign them to a bottom-placed finish in the tournament.

With five defeats from five games, and just 71 points scored to 217 conceded, it’s been a dismal campaign for the Welsh women.

But their male counterparts fared little better.

Wales’ men also lost five from five in the Six Nations, scoring 76 points while conceding 195.

They did manage three bonus points to the women’s one, but few would see that as a marker of a better performance.

Only three times in history has a nation lost all ten senior matches across the men’s and women’s Six Nations.

Welsh rugby now s an unwanted list.

When Did Wales Last Win A Rugby Match?

While the women’s side endured a torrid Six Nations, they have at least only got to go back to October for their most recent victory.

Wales beat Japan on 11 October in the WXV competition, meaning it is only six games since their last win.

The men, meanwhile, are on a far worse run. Wales’ men’s team have not won a test match since beating Georgia in the pool stages of the World Cup in 2023.

They lost to England in Cardiff by a record-breaking margin of 68-14, and have lost 17 successive test matches in a row – the worst run in Welsh rugby history and the worst ever for a tier one nation.

There is one slither of consolation, though. The Welsh men’s under-20 side beat England 23-13 in their final U20 Six Nations match this season.

However, the results by both male and female senior teams in Wales paint a far more bleak picture.

Off the field, things are no better. Former Wales men’s head coach Cardiff Rugby confirmed istration earlier this month.
