6:38 pm
so far and have to beat iceland in cardiff tonight. tomos dafydd reports it's been difficult. but wales insists there are positives too, and a lot has been learnt from facing some of the best sides in europe, with two time world cup winners germany, the opponents next week. tonight represents their best chance of avoiding relegation. we are a team that wants to compete in league a, and that's the reality that we're going to be competing against really good teams. we've learnt so much over this process and i think that will really benefit us. it has been really tough. it's quite hard to maintain our confidence, but by analysing the games and picking out the good things from the games, it'll really help us going forwards. it's a short corner - and it's well—worked. the players say they were unlucky to lose against iceland. the last time the sides met in september. wales were seemingly on top, only to concede the only goal
6:39 pm
of the match in reykjavik. the players say the results have been hard to take but they've learnt a lot against some of europe's top sides. they've come in for some criticism too, something they reflected upon during a pep talk with a former wales manager. chris coleman, who endured some tough defeats before guiding wales to a first major tournament in a generation, shared his experiences, the highs and lows. ttalked around when the team suffered. he talked about criticism and the criticism that that team had and in terms of it's a natural part of when a team is successful. for me, criticism is great because it shows that you're moving in a direction where people are noticing you as a team. after four straight defeats, wales are bottom of their group, a first victory tonight by two clear goals would see them leapfrog their opponents ahead of theirfinal game against germany next tuesday. tomos dafydd, bbc news. northern ireland's women are looking to get promoted to the top tier of the competition, and they've kept themsleves

6:50 pm
against the governing bodies. it relates to the full disclosure of medical records our sports news correspondent alex capstick was at the high court today well, this process began three years ago. and fair to say, we're still very much in the preliminary stages. just to remind you of the allegations, the players, many of them former internationals, 295, now, they say the game's authorities didn't do enough to protect them from head injuries. and that's why they're suffering from a range of neurological disorders, things like early onset dementia and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or cte, as it's known today at the high court. their legal team wanted all of those individual claims to be condensed into one single group action, but that didn't happen. the judge described the parties as passing each other like ships in the night. the main issue, it seems, is the defendants, the welsh rfu, the english rfu and world rugby, they want the players to provide their full medical records. at the moment, all they've got is the prognosis for each other.
6:51 pm
claimants, they want much more, and thejudge agreed. so they'll be back here late april, early may next year. susan rodwell, the barrister for the claimants, she said the delays were a shame not only for the litigation but also for the players. and she described some of them as being very vulnerable. the governing bodies, the defendants, they've previously expressed their concern for the players who are suffering while also saying they want to make the game as safe as possible. the last half an hour the governing bodies has said the delay is regrettable with the former players prior to sizing the press over their legal obligations. the firm represented a players has released a list of their names. those have that haven't requested anonymity, along them in england world cup winner.
