Last-Kick Drama: Wales Edge Japan, Nations Championship Plans Revealed | With Luke UptonDescription
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.
