George North said there is a lot of hurt in the Wales camp this week but that they want to put it right.
George North says that Wales have had “a brutally honest” week ahead of an Autumn Nations Series finale against Australia.
Wales tackle the Wallabies just seven days after being humiliated by Georgia in Cardiff in what was arguably their worst result of rugby union’s professional era, arriving just eight months after Wales lost at home to annual Six Nations strugglers Italy.A fourth successive victory over the Wallabies would not erase memories of the Georgia debacle, but it should at least lift spirits ahead of a tough Six Nations opener against Ireland in just 10 weeks’ time. Wales players show their dejection after their defeat to Georgia. “I think this week has been a great example of the boys stepping up when we need to,” Wales centre North said.”Obviously, last Saturday didn’t go well and we were the first to put our hands up on that.”The reaction this week has been brilliant. The boys have been brutally honest, and that is what we needed to be, getting down to the hard graft.”Without hyping it up, I think it is a must-win game for both sides.”From our point of view, the autumn has not nearly been as good as we were hoping it to be, especially the results we’ve had.” Twitter Due to your consent preferences, you’re not able to view this Privacy Options …
