Assistant coach Dan Lydiate has praised Wales’ defensive improvement but says there is still progress to be made after conceding 23 tries in four matches in this year’s Six Nations.
Lydiate is helping with Wales’ defence during the campaign and highlighted the effort shown in the 27-17 defeat by Ireland, but he says the next step is to win the ball back sooner rather than making huge numbers of tackles.
With Italy visiting Principality Stadium on Saturday, Lydiate says Wales want to use their energy in attack and get the Cardiff venue rocking again.
