Tompkins Apologises to Wales fans after loss to Italy



Wales centre Nick Tompkins apologised to the travelling fans following a 14th successive Test defeat.

A second successive Wooden Spoon seemingly awaits after a record drubbing by France was followed by a 22-15 defeat against Italy, a first loss in Rome for 18 years.

Wales have now dropped to a new low of 12th in the World Rugby rankings, a place below Georgia, after an eighth Six Nations loss on the bounce.

When asked what was his message to fans, Tompkins said: "It's amazing. You want to say sorry.

"We appreciate every bit of support they give us. We know it's tough times at the moment, but they keep supporting and shows what an amazing nation Wales is.

"We are trying for them. We want to keep going and hopefully we can give them something to cheer about."
