Leigh Halfpenny insists history can repeat itself and Wales can win the Guinness Six Nations title despite losing to Ireland.
Halfpenny was part of a Wales side which lost their opening game at home to Ireland in 2013, yet recovered to win their remaining fixtures to be crowned Six Nations champions.
Wales resume their campaign at home to France next Saturday before concluding games against England at Twickenham and Scotland in Cardiff.
"We know how teams found it difficult to break us down. That is the challenge for us, identifying opportunities where we can break down their system."
Halfpenny missed Wales' Grand Slam-winning Six Nations campaign last season after suffering a concussion against Australia in November 2018.
But the 31-year-old Scarlet, who became a father for the first time last year when his daughter Lily was born, won his 87th Welsh cap in Dublin and is revelling in being on the international stage again.
"Last season was a shame because of injury but I am over that now," Halfpenny said.
"It was different when I was out with the head injury and I am hugely grateful to be back.
"I am enjoying being out there and I am enjoying still looking to improve.
"Having a daughter is very special and I am loving being a dad. It puts everything into perspective."
