Danny Jones of Wales says that his side not scared of New Zealand - Rugby League
While talking to reporters on Friday, November 4, Danny Jones, the full-back for Wales, confirmed that his side is not worried about facing the defending champions, New Zealand, in Saturday’s double-header match of Gillette Four Nations, at Wembley.
The second leg of Saturday’s double-header will showcase Australia taking on England.
Recalling his side’s recent embarrassing 42-4 loss against England, Jones’ still stressed that their hopes for the forth-coming clash are not dampened at all.
Referring to their win against France, the Welsh full-back said, "It's massive. It doesn't come much bigger. They're world champions and Four Nations holders. We knew winning that game against the French in Albi last year would give us the opportunity to
play against the best teams in the world and we're certainly looking forward to it.We're not daunted by the task, we're looking forward to getting stuck into it."
The player also shared that his recent visit to his father was all about how Wales could improve in future games. His father acknowledged that Wales is not performing up to the mark and for now are not painting a very rosy outlook for their side, which was
also apparent in their lousy performance against England last weekend. Nonetheless, he reaffirmed that if Wales continued to strive harder and improve on their weakness, the side has potential to achieve anything.
Jones is looking forward to make his first appearance at Wembley and is focused on keeping his performance commendable, in hopes of keeping their Four Nations dream alive.
He also added that the Welsh side is studded with stars like Lee Briers, who has vast experience in rugby which can benefit Wales a great deal. According to Jones, what sets Briers apart from the rest is the fact that the player has played for this berth
earlier on, which will assist the Welsh side a great deal.
Moreover, Jones further added, “You've got to be in a really good side to get there in the Challenge Cup so for us it's a great opportunity and one we're all looking forward to."
