Evans: Ireland can win Grand Slam

FORMER Welsh skipper Ieuan Evans believes Ireland can win the RBS Six Nations Grand Slam, but he is more inclined to back them for a title win than to record a perfect season.

Evans, pointing to other teams who have failed to do the business even with equally talented squads, said it would be a major achievement for Ireland; but an achievement of which they are well capable.

Yet, with so much pride in his native Wales, Evans is drooling at the prospect of a battle of mammoth proportions at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Sunday.
