Aaron Shingler has vowed that Wales will "throw everything" at Ireland when they aim to keep their Six Nations title hopes alive in a fortnight.
Victory is now essential at the Aviva Stadium for Shingler and company following a 12-6 Twickenham defeat to reigning champions England.
It could have been a different story had television match official Glenn Newman not controversially ruled out Wales back Gareth Anscombe's first-half try after he appeared to edge a touchdown race ahead of England wing Anthony Watson.

"They (Ireland) are a good team and it will be a tough challenge at home. We will throw everything at them and play the style we have been playing. Hopefully, we get the win."
Another powerful Shingler performance underlined how superbly he has taken his opportunity this season in a Wales back row currently shorn of injured British and Irish Lions Sam Warburton, Taulupe Faletau and Dan Lydiate.
Having been out of the international picture between 2014 and 2017, Shingler has transferred blistering form for European Champions Cup quarter-finalists the Scarlets into Test match rugby and forged an impressive back-row trio alongside Josh Navidi and Ross Moriarty.
"The opportunity has come our way, and we are making the most of it," he said.
"I had not played (Test rugby) for three years. Now, I have had a run of games and I am a bit more comfortable and confident. Hopefully, I can make the most of my opportunity."
