Wales Captain Sam Warburton confident ahead of Six Nations
The Ireland Wales rugby match during the Six Nations tournament may be an important one for Welsh fans who expect their team to do well.
Captain of the side Sam Warburton said sport lovers are looking to him and his co-players to win the championship.
He noted tickets for the team's match against France at Millennium Stadium - the last of the tournament - have been sold out.
"People are anticipating that could be a Championship game," he stated.
However, the player said he was confident about the team's chances, noting the match against Ireland at Dublin's Aviva Stadium at February 5th will be a critical one, according to the BBC.
"It's a massive game for us because if we could get a result out there it tees us up for four remaining games, three of which are at home," the news provider quoted Warburton has saying.
Ireland is the first team Wales will face in the championships, although the tournament starts one day earlier when an England Scotland rugby match is held at Murrayfield and France plays against Italy at the Stade de France.
