Ireland are staying cautious but focused ahead of their Six Nations clash with Wales in Dublin.
Wales have not won a Six Nations match since beating Italy in 2023 and have lost their opening three games this year. They are in danger of finishing bottom for a third straight season.
However, Ireland forwards coach Paul O'Connell says his team are not taking Wales lightly. He believes Wales have strong players and good coaches, and showed signs of improvement in their recent game against Scotland.
O'Connell says Ireland’s main focus is on improving their own performance rather than worrying too much about the opposition, but they still expect a tough match.
