Wales have begun their Six Nations campaign with two heavy defeats against France and Ireland respectively. Abrahams is bitterly disappointed with the results, but is confident Wales have the players to turn it around.
“There’s some incredible lessons in there and hopefully it will make us better as a team going forward,” said Abrahams.
“We all need to go and critically review ourselves both as a collective and individually. I need to do that myself and my coaching team, management, and players, all of us.
“It just wasn’t good enough, but I believe in this squad. I’ve seen how they train, and I’ve seen the potential we have in this squad.
“We just need to keep believing. These tough moments will definitely bring us closer together as a group and the key thing is if we learn from these tough lessons, keep developing, and keep progressing then hopefully we can turn this around.”
Wales conceded five tries in what was an outstanding first half performance from Ireland who never let up. To their credit Wales showed tremendous character in the second half, rolling up their sleeves to make life extremely difficult for the Irish.
And Abrahams insists he won’t be afraid to make big changes ahead of their Six Nations play-off clash in two weeks’ time, with a number of young players having impressed him.
“We’ve got to go and look at every bit of detail from our preparation, from our practice design, our tactical approach to the game and each individual,” said Abrahams. We’ve got to go and look at it and we’ve got to figure out if it needs to be a different blend or not.
“It’s my responsibility as head coach to look at where we got it wrong and turn it around as quickly as possible. If it means we’ve got to make some changes then so be it.
“There’s some good young players in this squad we are excited about for the future.”
