RTÉ rugby analyst Bernard Jackman instances the Welsh set-piece and kicking game as obvious weaknesses as Warren Gatland's side land in Dublin ahead of Saturday's Six Nations encounter.
Alun Wyn Jones hopes Wales making the last eight of the Rugby World Cup in France “does not paper over the cracks” in the game nationwide.
Welsh rugby was in disarray when Gatland was hired for a second time, taking over from Kiwi predecessor Wayne Pivac as uncertainty over a deal between the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) and its regional clubs left players worrying about their futures.
PARIS : Wales coach Warren Gatland conceded being perplexed with how deep in the doldrums Wales were when he returned last December but has quickly turned around their fortunes and led them to a fourth successive Rugby World Cup quarter-final.
NANTES, France : Louis Rees-Zammit scored a hat-trick of tries as Wales maintained their momentum ahead of the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals with a six-try 43-19 win over Georgia on Saturday to seal top spot in Pool C with a fourth successive victory.
Wales are a different team to the one that were shocked at home by Georgia last November and the Rugby World Cup has been proof of that with a quarter-final place already secured, second row Will Rowlands said ahead of a Pool C re-match on Saturday.
NANTES, France : Wales did not get enough credit for their early performances at the World Cup, according to coach Warren Gatland as they look to top Pool C with a fourth victory against Georgia in Nantes on Saturday.
