Wales’ campaign concluded in utter disgrace as they suffered a 68-14 thrashing by in Cardiff – and a glum Adam Jones being caught on camera summed up the nation’s feelings. What started as a Super Saturday filled with hope for Wales that their long streak of losses might finally be broken quickly turned into catastrophe.

Interim head coach Matt Sherratt’s team were decimated by their greatest rivals, who scored 10 tries and handed their most severe defeat ever. This crushing loss means Wales receive the wooden spoon for the second year running, having not won a championship match in two years. Their losing streak now extends to 17 consecutive Test matches, dating back to the 2023 Rugby World Cup. They finish the tournament ranked 12th globally, just ahead of summer opponents Japan.

Welsh has seen many bleak days recently, but Saturday was arguably the darkest yet – and one man’s reaction encapsulated it all. As England scored their 10th and final try with the clock in the red, the cameras panned to the corridors of the Principality Stadium, capturing scrum coach Adam Jones’ genuine response to the historic defeat, per .

Leaning against a wall and gazing into the distance, the disappointment was evident on the face of the three-time Welsh Grand Slam winner. Having experienced so much success as a player, he must have been pondering how it all went so terribly wrong.

As the camera panned to a dejected ‘Bomb’, Jones’ expression resonated deeply with a nation in dismay. One viewer took to social media to express that sentiment, tweeting: “Adam Jones is all of us right now.”

And they weren’t alone among fans raising concern for the Wales legend – who represented his country on 95 occasions – as another posted: “He looks absolutely shell shocked. How does this get fixed?”

And a third disheartened fan commented: “I feel exactly like you Adam Jones! I’ve got no polite words to say after watching that.” Echoing the same mood, a fourth follower captured the collective national sentiment: “The face of Adam Jones says it all.”

This crushing blow against England marked a regretful conclusion to Jones’ temporary deployment with Wales. ‘Bomb’ will make his way back to Premiership employer Harlequins for the remainder of the season, while Wales begin another refresh in an attempt to halt their historic run of poor form.
