“Wales aim to turn Six Nations campaign around against Ireland”
Wales will be looking to turn their Six Nations campaign around as they face Ireland in Cork this weekend. Head coach Ioan Cunningham is urging his team to believe in themselves and focus on the positives as they aim to end a five-match losing streak.
Despite sitting at the bottom of the table with just one bonus point, Wales have shown glimpses of their potential, particularly in their performance against England. Cunningham is confident in the impact his bench players can make and believes that if they can capitalize on their opportunities, they can cause trouble for their opponents.
A bonus point win against Ireland could see Wales move up to third in the table, depending on other results. Cunningham is well aware of the importance of this weekend’s match and the potential swing in the standings.
Ireland, on the other hand, are riding high on confidence with a good feel about their camp. The tough environment in Cork, with fans close to the field, will provide a different challenge for Wales, but Cunningham is excited about the opportunity and hopes his team can put in a full 80-minute performance.
With Wales having beaten Ireland in their last two Six Nations meetings, the stage is set for an exciting clash between the two teams. Fans can watch the action live on BBC iPlayer and online, with text commentary, highlights, and reports available on the BBC Sport website and app. Stay tuned for what promises to be a thrilling encounter in Cork.
