What a game.
Ireland are now throwing themselves at the Wales line to try and get a lifeline back into this game...
Five metres out.
Phillip Matthews
Former Ireland captain on BBC One
"That will be painful viewing for Tommy Bowe. He showed Scott Williams the inside and you can't do that against that guy. A huge mountain for Ireland to climb now."
Jonathan Davies
Former Wales fly-half on BBC One
"Heaslip is committed to Biggar first of all and goes too tight. Scott Williams feints then goes and he is over."
Jonathan Flowers:, external TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY!
Simon Allsopp:, external Awesome 10 mins of rugby from both sides c'mon wales
Steve Jones:, external That is what Scott Williams will give you. Great try
Scott Williams scored that decisive try at Twickenham a few years back. This might be just as big in deciding the winners of this year's Six Nations.
The replacement centre sniffs a hole as Tommy Bowe and Jamie Heaslip leave him to each other. That indecision is all Williams needs, diving over with glee.
Leigh Halfpenny screws the conversion wide.
Jonathan Davies
Former Wales fly-half on BBC One
"There will be some tired legs in the last 20 minutes. Very tired legs."
The phases are racking up again as Wales bash up to the Ireland five metre following Dan Lydiate's line-out steal...
Jonathan Davies
Former Wales fly-half on BBC One
"The scramble defence has been immense from both sides."
Still on for Wales....
But the chance disappears down the swanny as a pass flies clean over Leigh Halfpenny on the whitewash.
The next try is an absolute monster in determining the outcome of this match.
BBC Sport's Ben Dirs on Twitter:, external "That has to go down as one of the most stirring passages of defence ever seen in Cardiff. A 10 ton truck wouldn't have breached Welsh lines."
Alun Wyn Jones counter-rucks to turn over the ball on halfway. Jonathan Davies charges past Simon Zebo out wide.
Give it! No!
Leigh Halfpenny was on his shoulder, but Davies spots him too late.
Phillip Matthews
Former Ireland captain on BBC One
"There were two phases of defence that lasted over 20 phases - that was incredible by Wales. You ask how much it will take out of Wales, but I wonder how much the disappointment of not scoring will take from the Irish side."
BBC Sport's Ben Dirs on Twitter:, external "Wayne Barnes is so prolific with his whistle he should start entering sheepdog trials."
Richard Hibbard replaces Scott Baldwin at hooker for Wales. A whole new front row compared to the starting XV for Wales.
Jonathan Davies
Former Wales fly-half on BBC One
"You have to say incredible play, incredible intensity. Great play by Ireland and by the Welsh defence. But how much will it take out of the Welsh team?"
Both teams heaving with effort. Penalty to Wales! Johnny Sexton off his feet!
Cheered as loudly as any try by the crowd. They know how important that could be.
That will have lactic acid coursing though both sides. There are going to be holes in both defences come the last 10 minutes...
Immense Ireland pressure. Heroic Wales defence. Still the hosts hold out.
This feels like a game-defining period of play.
Kat:, external I have little understanding of what's going on in the #bbc6nations #WALvIRE but it's great procrastination
Phillip Matthews
Former Ireland captain on BBC One
"That was a great period of Welsh discipline unlike in the first half, when they were giving away penalties after four or five phases."
Penalty Ireland! Wales stray offside. Warren Gatland disbelieving up in his glass box. Ireland kick up to 10 metres out and will go for the drive...
