"Some great goals and some great football so, yeah, I can't be much happier.... I enjoyed the game and enjoyed the goals but, you know, you always think you can do better." There was a feeling from Giggs, the Welsh players and fans that Ireland could have been hit for more than four. No Irish person would sensibly argue otherwise.
