00:00Warren Gatland admitted Wales sent on the wrong player from the bench during a sobering
00:0724-19 defeat to Fiji on another dark day for Welsh rugby.
00:12Fiji triumphed for the first time in Cardiff as Wales suffered a record-equalling 10th
00:18Test consecutive defeat.
00:20If that unwanted piece of history was not bad enough, the post-match inquest revealed
00:25an element of farce as head coach Gatland said Wales had incorrectly replaced injured
00:30winger Mason Grady in the 17th minute with outside-half San Costolo.
00:36Wales had gambled on a 6-2 split on their bench with only two backs available.
00:41On pressure building on him during Wales' losing run, Gatland said,
00:45The pressure comes externally, we've said for the past 12 months with a number of players
00:49and experience that we lost, that we are going to invest in a group of youngsters we felt
00:54could build on and take us into a positive future.
