Six Nations: Ireland will show Wales ‘utmost respect’ at Principality Stadium says Finlay Bealham

Ireland prop Finlay Bealham has predicted Wales will “be coming out firing” when the sides meet in round three of the Six Nations at the Principality Stadium on 22 February.

The hosts are bottom of the table with only one losing bonus point to show for defeats by France and Italy, and on Tuesday replaced head coach Warren Gatland with Cardiff’s Matt Sherratt for the remainder of the championship.

Ireland are chasing a third consecutive Six Nations crown and, having already beaten England and Scotland, would secure the Triple Crown with victory in Cardiff.

“It’s another away game in a really prestigious stadium,” said Bealham before news of Gatland’s departure.

“It’s Wales’ first game at home as well, so they’ll be well up for it, backs against the wall. I’ve no doubt they’ll be coming out firing.

“We’ll go in with the utmost respect and do our thing.”
