Gatland: Lack of territory and possession caught Wales in second half against Ireland

Wales boss Warren Gatland regretted his side’s inability to stop Ireland’s second-half collision dominance as the Grand Slam champions were beaten in Dublin in the final game before the World Cup today.

Ireland came from 10-7 down at half-time in the Aviva Stadium to win 19-10 thanks to early second-half tries from Tadhg Furlong and James Ryan as Joe Schmidt’s side went back to basics and went through phases with great success.
