Josh Navidi and Hadleigh Parkes insists Wales are set to bounce back against Scotland at Principality Stadium this Saturday.
Wales fell to a narrow 33-30 defeat to England at Twickenham last weekend and end their Six Nations campaign against a resurgent Scotland who put France to the sword on Sunday. And Wales back-row star Navidi is confident Wayne Pivac’s side can end the championship on a high.
He said: “We can take some positives, but we have to look back at it and put the wrongs right ready for Scotland next Saturday.
“Going into the changing rooms (at half-time) we knew it was a big deficit, but you never think you are out of the game.
“Getting that try early in the second-half, we were in a good place, and there are some positives to take from that second-half. Maybe an extra five minutes on the clock, we would have been all right.
“When you are on the back foot, it’s not great, and it was just a shame from the first-half that we didn’t get more points on the board.
“We are not in a bad place. We are still building, the boys are still getting used to the systems. It was just the first-half let us down.
“We can take some positives from that game and just keep moving forward. It’s obviously a new regime, and hopefully we can just keep building.”
Wales centre Parkes has warned his fellow teammates they must end the Six Nations on a winning note.
But he believes the fact Wales’ players face Scottish opposition on a regular basis will be beneficial.
He said: “They have got a big physical pack, a good back-line as well and ball-carriers across the park.
“We know them pretty well, and they know us pretty well. There was a bit of banter flying about, a few words.
“We are back at home. We don’t like losing at home. It’s going to be a tough game against Scotland. We just want to go out there and make sure we finish on a high and put in a good performance in front of our own fans.”
