Swansea full-back Taylor insists Wales not taking eye off the ball

Neil Taylor has insisted that Wales remain focused ahead of their all important European Championship qualifiers against Cyprus and Israel.


After years of hurt, Wales could be making their first ever appearance in the finals of a major international tournament since 1958 by qualifying for Euro2016.

Victories over Cyprus and Israel this week will seal Wales' place in France and while these are certainly exciting times for the Dragons, Swansea City's Taylor insists that the players are remaining focused at the job that still needs to be completed.

Taylor said: "We are not getting ahead of ourselves. It is not done and dusted until everything is mathematically certain but it is in out own hands and we could not have asked for a great deal more than that when we started the campaign.

"You cannot allow yourself to take your eye off the ball. Should we qualify, that will be the time to think about things like that, until it is certain you cannot afford to do it."
