Wales' opening game of the 2023 Six Nations tournament have got off to the worst possible start after being beaten by defending champions Ireland 34-10.

It marked Warren Gatland's first match in charge since replacing Wayne Pivac as Head Coach at the start of December.

Reflecting on the match, Warren Gatland said his team "created a number of chances in the game and just weren’t clinical enough to finish them.”

Wales' rivalry with England will continue on Saturday, February 25, with both teams hoping that their new coaches can hit the ground running.
