When is a scoreline a fair reflection of a match? Andy Farrell and Warren Gatland had different ideas, the latter adamant that the 31-7 victory to Ireland was not representative of his young Wales team’s efforts. When that suggestion was put to Farrell, he countered as confidently as his team play these days.
“I thought we should have had 40,” he replied with a glint in his eye. “We got what we deserved in the end. I thought Wales defended really well at times, but I thought we should have been further ahead in the first half. There was all sorts going on. Some of it was our own doing, but most of it was because we were playing a tenacious Welsh side. So congratulations to them.
