Aaron Wainwright: 'I'm definitely excited about getting out there and trying to set things right'

“Matt Sherratt has told us he wants us to enjoy these next three days. If we go out there and express ourselves and show that we've enjoyed this week then I'm sure the fans will get a sense of that and really get behind us and drive us on."

PROVE PEOPLE WRONG: Wales are on a 14-match losing streak but Aaron Wainwright and co are hoping to put that right and spoil Irelands party at the same time.

Aaron Wainwright knows all about how painful the Six Nations can be. As if being a part of a Welsh team that has lost its last eight games in a row in the championship wasn’t bad enough, in the opening match against France last month he picked up 11 stitches in his cheek.

That forced the Dragons back row man out of the game at Stade de France after only four minutes, yet he was back in action the following weekend when he came off the bench in the defeat to Italy in Rome.
