The Wales boss, who was in charge of Ospreys between 2012 and 2018, is sympathetic to their plight.<\/p>\n
“It’s hard and I’ve been in those situations, but I think on the flipside it is surprising what you can find,” said Tandy.<\/p>\n
“It’s far from perfect, and I know how tough it is and I am empathetic, but sometimes you can find a diamond.<\/p>\n
“It is tough, but I know they are all supportive coaches of what we are trying to do, and we are trying to be really supportive of them.<\/p>\n
“It isn’t perfect, but we can’t change it. We have to make the best of the situation.”<\/p>\n
The regions bear the brunt of Wales losing 10 members of the matchday 23 that lost 52-26 to New Zealand last weekend.<\/p>\n
Lock Adam Beard has gone back to Montpellier while nine players have returned to English clubs.<\/p>\n
Tandy, who was appointed in the summer, remains positive and insists it presents the new-look management team with a chance to look at more players at the end of their first campaign.<\/p>\n
“The more games we get the better,” said the former Scotland defence coach. “We’ve got 14 or 15 before the World Cup.<\/p>\n
“If you ask any player to represent their country at any given time, no matter where it is, they are going to want to play.<\/p>\n
“For us it’s an opportunity. There’s loads of ways you can look at this game but for me it’s exciting.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
