Johnson: Wales have nothing to prove after Ruddock departure

SCOTT JOHNSON insists RBS 6 Nations Championship holders Wales have nothing to prove to a sceptical Welsh public when they begin life after Mike Ruddock in Dublin on Sunday.

Ruddock’s departure as Wales coach last week sent shock waves through the sport, and the fall-out is continuing.

Against that backdrop, caretaker boss Johnson must prepare his players for a game that promises to make or break Wales’ Six Nations campaign.
