A brilliant tactical performance by Ireland that will be remembered for years by the home fans inside the Aviva Stadium. Best start to a Six Nations campaign since 2009. Joe Schmidt's side on course for the title after two wins out of two.

The icing on Ireland's cake. Replacement Paddy Jackson goes over following yet another superb Irish maul. With Jonathan Sexton off the pitch, the 22-year-old rubs Wales' noses in it with an easy kick.

There are still a couple of minutes on the clock but the celebrations are in full swing in the stands. TPeter O'Mahony is named man of the match. Terrific performance by the Munster flanker.

"For the purist it's been very interesting in terms of the tactical game. I can't imagine they'll play like this against England but it's suited on the day."

Changes taking place on both sides as the game enters its final stages. A huge roar from 50,000 Irish fans goes up for Ulster hooker Rory Best who has been dominant. On comes Sean Cronin. But the biggest cheer is reserved for Jonathan Sexton who is replaced with six minutes left on the clock. The fly-half is being saved for his country's next game - England away.

"That is going to feel like conceding a try to Wales after they finally managed to get some momentum."

Into the final 10 minutes. It is all or nothing for Wales. But impressive Ireland are showing no signs of letting this one slip. Dublin gets ready to celebrate.

Drama. Ireland are on the back foot and Wales replacement Rhodri Jones edges towards the line. Surely a first try for the visitors? No. The move in brought to an abrupt end by referee Wayne Barnes who penalises replacement Rhodri Jones. Ireland draw the penalty on their own tryline.

It's been pretty physical out there - just as home captain Paul O'Connell likes it, although he doesn't look too happy above.

No sign of a comeback from Wales in Dublin. Ireland, who have out-fought their opponents, are 15 minutes away from a famous win.

Referee Wayne Barnes shows his authority by telling Ireland flanker Peter O'Mahony in no uncertain terms to stop arguing with him.

"At the moment Ireland are winning the kicking battle and winning the aerial battle - Wales need to mix it up more."

Declan O'Connell:, external All the Irish players have bought into Joe Schmidt's philosophy and that's why they are so tactically sound.

No sooner do Wales have their first points than Ireland restore their 16-point cushion thanks to the boot of Jonathan Sexton. Into the final quarter of the game. The rain is bucketing down and the hosts decide the time has come for replacements. Dan Tuohy is on for Paul O'Connell, while Leinster prop Martin Moore is on for Mike Ross.

"Leigh Halfpenny is charged down and that is not going to help Welsh composure - they were lucky, it could have gone anywhere."

As we approach the three-quarter mark of the game in Dublin, the Scottish team have arrived at Murrayfield for the Calcutta Cup match, which kicks off at 1700 GMT.

A band of pipers leads the way as the Scottish coach pulls into Murrayfield - can't you just hear the skirl of the bagpipes in the picture above? JS

At last Wales have points on the board after Leigh Halfpenny easily slots home. Can they come back from this?

The clock is ticking and suddenly there is an injection of urgency about Wales. But Ireland's players are putting their battered bodies on the line and throwing themselves into tackles every time a red shirt has the ball. Terrific to watch.

The decibel levels go up another notch in the Aviva Stadium. Wales have now conceded 11 penalties and we're still got another half an hour left. Ireland are keeping it simple but they have been excellent in all areas. The same cannot be said of Wales.
