Matt Sherratt's side led for a spell around half time but ultimately the visitors scraped their way back into the game | ITV News Wales

Cardiff boss Sherratt said at his introductory press conference, barely 72 hours after Wales were humbled by Italy in Gatland’s final match, that it was very much a short-term stay. “It’s the same answer. No, not at all,” he said, when asked on Saturday if anything now changes in relation to it being only a temporary role.

Wales interim coach Matt Sherratt believes there is much to build on after his team put on a display full of heart in their defeat to Ireland.
