Wayne Pivac: 'Wales will not panic after Ireland defeat'

:Headline: Wayne Pivac: 'Wales will not panic after Ireland defeat': ID:389251: from db_amp
Wales' defeat in Dublin was their first Six Nations loss since Ireland beat them two years ago.

Wayne Pivac says there will be no panic as Wales look to regroup in this season's Guinness Six Nations Championship.

Wales will get their campaign back on track if they beat France at the Principality Stadium in 13 days' time.

But it will be a severe examination for Pivac's men as they aim to recover quickly from a 24-14 defeat against Ireland in Dublin.

"We are two games in and are obviously disappointed as the players know we are a lot better than that performance," he said.

"It is a competition. No-one has won it – it's not won after two rounds – so we need to make sure we keep improving and against France we have a very good performance and we get back to winning ways.

"The competition itself is going to be a very tight one this year. You can see that already.

"We've mentioned that we need to be more accurate with the ball, build more pressure, and to do that you build phases and don't turn the ball over after one or two phases.

"We have to be a lot more accurate with what we are doing with the ball.

"I was impressed with their (France's) performance against England. They played very well with the ball in that first half, and then defended very well in the second half.

"It was a great start for them."
