Wales progress stalls in sluggish Ireland showingFigure caption, Watch highlights as Aoife Wafer scores twice in Ireland’s victory over WalesByCeri Coleman-PhillipsBBC Sport WalesPublished36 minutes agoEncouraged by a record points haul against England last time out, Wales headed to Ireland looking to build on recent peformances in the Women’s Six Nations.But the tournament’s two-week break appeared to have done more harm than good as Wales look uninspired in their 33-12 defeat.
Like they had against Scotland and France, Wales were in the contest up until half-time but Ireland’s third try proved the hammer blow.
Wales should have headed down the tunnel trailing 12-7 but a failure to get the ball off the park when the clock had been in the red gifted Ireland one last attack.
“We speak about championship moments and that is one of them,” mentioned Wales captain Bethan Lewis.
“Putting ourselves on the back foot going into half-time, it’s frustrating. We need to tighten up with things like that.”
