Fly-half Stephen Jones insists Wales can be a "great" team if they pay more attention to detail when preparing for major Test matches.
And Jones insists Wales will continue to be creative in the wake of the interception tries that cost them dear in defeat by France.
He said: "We do want to be one of the best sides in the world.
"I think it's evident when we've got the ball and we're playing, we're a great side and everybody can see that."
British and Irish Lion Jones threw an interception pass that led to the James Haskell try that saw off Wales' gusty fight-back in their opening Six Nations 30-17 defeat by England.
On Friday James Hook and Shane Williams' passes handed France the initiative with two first half tries for Alexis Palisson and Francois Trinh-Duc.
Wales fought back with Williams and Leigh Halfpenny touching down while other chances were spurned.
Afterwards defence coach Shaun Edwards said: "To keep France to no offensive tries was a great effort but there is no doubt people are doing their homework and have seen they can get intercepts because over 30% of our tries conceded over the last 18 months have come from intercepts."
Scarlets fly-half Jones says the Friday night interceptions should not be taken in isolation when Wales pore over the video replays of the loss as they begin to prepare for the next challenge, against Ireland in Dublin on 13 March.
Jones said: "When we've got the ball we do cause sides problems, but our challenge is to play for 80 minutes.
"We're a passing side, we do throw the ball around - it's in our nature. That's the way we want to play the game.
"Yes, error does creep in every now and again, but we never want to come off a pitch having not had a go and asked the question.
"And we try things. We want to be creative, not experimental, in the way we play and as far as I'm concerned it'll always be that way.
Gatland proud of Wales in defeat
"Frustration's key. I know we made a couple of errors, individual errors, but we've got to look at the whole picture as a team.
"We're taking so much away from ourselves. Yes they [France] had an interception and what have you, but other things make the big difference and it's the attention to detail we need to get right to move forward.
"It's a big task and a big ask to play the Irish away, but it's something we look forward to and we've got to make sure we do our homework and look at ourselves.
"Where can we improve? Because I feel we're in control of so many of the things that we take way from ourselves as well.
"So by getting that right we'll go forward at a rate of knots and we do want to be one of the best sides in the world.
"I think it's evident when we've got the ball and we're playing, we're a great side and everybody can see that."
