I was at The Principality yesterday also, first time at a 6 Nations match.
I was surprised by the atmosphere, thought it was pretty sterile/flat but that might have been due to unreasonably raised expectations given the quality mayhem in the pubs and streets beforehand.
Match was a bit meh too - one team plays badly and gets battered in the first half so decides to pass the ‘bad baton’ to the other side for the second half and they reverse roles so didn’t really feel competitive.
Did enjoy the day out though, was just not expecting the rugby/atmosphere in the stadium to be the least interesting part!
I can understand that this view may be an outlier.
