Six Nations: Rhys Webb says Wales can bounce back from England defeat
Saturday 7 February 2015 22:41, UK
Rhys Webb says Wales are "definitely capable" of bouncing back from their crushing home defeat against England to win the Six Nations crown.
Despite scrum-half Webb's early try that underpinned a 10-point lead, Wales failed to score in the second period and evetually lost 21-16 to England at the Millennium Stadium on Friday night.
But, Webb is remaining upbeat and is refusing to write off his side's title chances.
He said: "Two years ago, we lost to Ireland in the first game and went on to win the championship.
"This team is definitely capable of doing that. It's a world-class team.
"But we can't afford to switch off as we did in that second-half. We didn't control the game, we were counter-rucked, sin-binned, and made basic errors. You can't afford to do that.
"I am sure the boys will be looking forward to hitting the hell out of each other next week. We will get stuck into each other.
"We will look back at the videos and the boys will put their hands up. That's where we are as a team - everyone will chip in and say their part.
"We will gather all that information and get back on the training pitch on Tuesday to put things right where we need to put them right.
"It was just a bad day at the office. If we had played the whole game like we played the first half, it would have been a different story. It was just one of those games - a one-off."
Wales head to Edinburgh next weekend for an appointment with Scotland and Webb is expecting Wales to get back to winning ways.
He added:"We will rest up on Saturday and Sunday, then, come Monday, we will go through the analysis. It will be tough times there, but we have to pick ourselves up and get back to winning ways at Murrayfield."
