Defence a worry for Williams

Shane Williams says there will be no let-up in Wales' search for a solution to shore up their leaking defence.

Ireland's three-try blast at Croke Park means Wales have conceded 10 touchdowns in this season's RBS 6 Nations Championship - eight more than when they were crowned 2008 Grand Slam champions.

"Teams are causing us problems, although we are working hard at finding a fix," said the Wales wing.

"Our defence was bad, we made mistakes in key areas and left a few holes which Ireland utilised. Our lack of concentration at times cost us.

"We did not get in the right areas often enough, and you often get punished at international level when you make a mistake.

"I would love to have the answer to our problems because it is very frustrating.

"We will have to sit back, look at the footage and see where we are going wrong.

"Our discipline and kicking at times was quite poor, and you can't afford to do that, especially when you are up against such a quality outfit."
