The medals have been won and now it’s time to say what everyone else is thinking.
In Part 1 of our Commonwealth Games wrap, Emily and Nia rank the teams that finished from 12th to fifth.
Nia gives her honest verdict on Wales’ tenth-place campaign, explains why she believes the warning signs were already there and considers what must change before World Cup qualification.
We celebrate Scotland’s breakthrough home Games, Tonga winning hearts, Uganda’s fearless attacking style and Malawi’s quality. We also revisit South Africa’s puzzling tactical decisions, the effect of the international ranking system and the signs that pointed towards New Zealand winning gold.
Part two, covering the tournament’s top four, is coming next.
