THE inquest into Wales' shocking Six Nations defeat to Ireland continued last night with Newport-born lock Chris Wyatt (pictured) admitting their performance was 'a nightmare' and he described the sight of Welsh fans streaming out of the ground early as 'cutting to the bone.'

Wyatt, who had earned a recall in Wales' 36-6 defeat at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday was left with a feeling of humiliation.

"To go out and produce a second- half performance which was even worse than the first was like your worst nightmare coming true," admitted Wyatt.

"Being booed off by your own crowd in your own stadium cuts to the bone. "We feel pretty much the same as the crowd. We're disappointed with our performance, and we'll have to have a serious look at the video.

"We know the team performance was bad and a lot of individuals are not happy with their own performances.

"My performance can't be judged because I wasn't able to achieve any of my goals. It's not worth mentioning because we all did so badly as a team."

Wyatt was struggling after the game trying to explain why Wales fared so poorly. "It's too soon to say exactly what went wrong because every phase of our game was poor," he said, adding damningly, "If we played like that against Romania they'd have hammered us.

"Ireland controlled the game. They have got to feel confident against England next Saturday.

"But we felt we had prepared to do the job. It'll take a day or two to get away from it before we put our finger on what went wrong.

"We have got to remain positive because we want success in the future. We have got to use the way Ireland came back after the Scotland game as an example to us."
