Wales captain Dewi Lake says a win is just around the corner after an encouraging display in the 27-17 Six Nations defeat by Ireland in Dublin.
Wales’ losing Six Nations streak has now stretched to 15 matches, with the previous victory in the tournament coming against Italy in March 2023.
But this Dublin defeat was the finest performance in the Steve Tandy era so far, as Wales fell just short again.
Ireland head coach Andy Farrell said Wales were “tremendous and Ireland had been involved in a proper, dogged Test match”.
This performance follows the narrow 26-23 home loss to Scotland two weeks ago, with Wales facing Italy on the final weekend in Cardiff next Saturday.
Wales will bid to avoid the wooden spoon for the third successive Six Nations and try to claim a tournament win for the first time in almost 1,100 days.
“The win is coming, I can feel it, it is just around the corner,” said Lake.
