Wales captain Dewi Lake said his team had let themselves down despite beating Japan 28-21 in the Nations Championship.
The victory was enough to secure the result, but Lake described Wales’ performance as lacklustre and acknowledged that significant improvement is needed.
His assessment highlights the difference between the outcome and the quality of Wales’ display. While the team claimed the win, the captain’s comments indicate that the performance did not meet the standards expected by the squad.
Wales will now need to address the shortcomings identified by Lake as they continue their Nations Championship campaign. No further details about the areas requiring improvement were provided.
