Justin Tipuric: 'Wales can still win Six Nations title'

Wales' 24-14 loss to Ireland in Dublin ended a run of eight successive Six Nations wins.

Justin Tipuric has no doubt that Wales remain Guinness Six Nations title contenders despite suffering their first defeat in the tournament for two years.

Wales' 24-14 loss to Ireland in Dublin ended a run of eight successive Six Nations wins, while also scuppering Grand Slam hopes.

Resurgent France are next up in Cardiff on February 22, followed by England at Twickenham, so life is not about to get any easier for Tipuric and company.

"It's looking after possession when we've got it, making sure we are a lot more accurate in what we do, so there is plenty to work on.

"We've got to make sure when we have got the ball we look after it and build the pressure. At the end of that usually comes some points.

"For us, it was just a matter of we didn't take our opportunities. We were inaccurate in a lot of our play.

"When we did get into the areas of the field we wanted to, we weren't accurate and let the Irish off the hook. When they got down the other end, they made us pay.

"At half-time we were fairly buoyant. We realised if we started well after half-time, the game was going to be on and we had every opportunity.

"But we weren't able to nail those opportunities or create enough pressure."
