"We are targeting a bonus-point win this weekend against Ireland so hopefully we can score some tries and come away with a good win. With players we have got I think we are more than capable of doing that."After 30 minutes of action at Lansdowne Road, Davies and Wales were backing up the talk. They led a misfiring Ireland 13-5 and Davies had run in a try under the posts. With Johnny Sexton finally landing a penalty, after 35 minutes, to make it 13-8, Davies was the first to approach him and have a chirp in his ear. Welsh confidence was high but Ireland upped the stakes with three tries in the space of 17 minutes, either side of half-time. In the end, it was Ireland securing the try-scoring bonus point after only 53 minutes and running in a fifth try, for good measure, at the death. As for Davies and Wales, they left with '0' points and with Gatland admitting a mid-table finish was the best they could hope for. Credit to Davies for his pre-match honesty but one has to own such comments when the wheels come off.
