Tommy Bowe: Six Nations Defeat to Wales rattled us

Tommy Bowe believes Ireland’s players will have been “rattled” by their Six Nations defeat to Wales last March.

Joe Schmidt bid farewell to the tournament with a 25-7 hammering by Wales in Cardiff, a win that gave Warren Gatland’s men a Grand Slam title, and bringing a disappointing end to a championship in which Schmidt had such a formidable record.
