Beating Italy is not a 'God-given right', says Wales coach Tandy

The Welsh were huge underdogs but turned in their best performance since Tandy took over last year, never letting the Irish get away from them at Lansdowne Road on Friday. It was another indication of Wales's improvement, after they came close to beating Scotland a fortnight ago. Tandy's first Six Nations campaign had started with heavy defeats against both England (48-7) and France (54-12). The 46-year-old said the performance had been the best by his team, since he officially took over in September, "for different reasons".
