- Interim coach proud even though Ireland win 27-18
- ‘Big moment’ when Ellis Mee ‘try’ ruled out by TMO
The new interim Wales coach, Matt Sherratt, paid tribute to his players’ “emotion and ambition” after a heartening display in the 27-18 defeat by Ireland at the Principality Stadium.
The 47-year-old Englishman, Cardiff’s full-time head coach, was appointed only last week and said he was pleased with the way his players had transferred his ideas on to the pitch. Wales led 18-10 in the second half before a Jamie Osborne try and three Sam Prendergast penalties for Ireland settled the contest.
