  1. Penaltypublished at 14:49 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2015

    Wales started like a train against England and came a cropper thanks to a sluggish second half.

    They are putting plenty of points in the bank while they are hot this afternoon.

    Wales' Samson Lee will not play any further part in this match. The prop is getting oxygen on the pitch after a serious looking leg injury.

    Skipper Sam Warburton calls his troops, including Lee's replacement Aaron Jarvis, in for a pep talk.

    Play will restart with a Wales penalty 30-odd metres out. Leigh Halfpenny will take a pop at goal. And you would not bet against him...

    Rob Jones, Former Wales scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 live: "Everything they have done so far has been perfection and Wales have not missed a tackle and when they have the ball they have pressurised Ireland."

    "Warren Gatland will be delighted. Ireland are having what they have done to other teams done to them - especially on the kick offs and in the aerial battle. Wales are dominating both."

    Ireland are rattled. Johnny Sexton muffs his kick-off, clearing the touchline on the full to mocking cheers from the crowd.

    That part of the game has been one of Ireland's best under Joe Schmidt.

    Leigh Halfpenny is hitting the back fence at the driving range today.

    A boomer of a kick from bang on halfway has more than enough distance, clearing the crossbar with plenty to spare.

    Jonathan Davies is already talking about points difference for next weekend...

    "Wales have to take the opportunities if they are on out wide. Ireland defend narrow at times - Wales must take the chance if it is on."

    Leigh Halfpenny is showing his full repertoire. After the pin-point place kicking and a sky-scraping claim in an aerial contest with Conor Murray, he claims a mark with an astonishing diving take, just inches off the deck.

    What a player.

    "It's all coming from the tactical kicking by Wales, Ireland just can't deal with it at the moment. These are probably the two best kick-chase teams in the championship, so there isn't going to be an advantage for Ireland as they have had in other games."

    With his side under heavy pressure, Ireland blind-side flanker Peter O'Mahony tries to be a hero, nibbling for the ball after chopping down his man in the tackle.

    Wayne Barnes pings him right in front and Leigh Halfpenny could kick that one in his carpet slippers.

    There is a bit of ambition about Wales this afternoon. Twice it goes wide, Liam Williams is pinned the first time, but Jonathan Davies shoves off a tackler and strides on to the Ireland 22.

    The crowd are demanding points. Five preferably.

    "Warren Gatland has clearly looked at the Ireland-England game. England kicked long and kept giving Ireland the ball, whereas Dan Biggar kicked short, Wales got the ball back and got the penalty."

    "We all knew how crucial the ruck area was going to be - they just can't be isolated. Wales are trying to move the disciplined Irish defence around."

    Off comes the scrum cap, up go the flags.

    In between is one of the most reliable kicking actions in the game.

    First blood to the hosts.

    Wales are getting the heavy artillery rumbling.

    First Taulupe Faletau and then James Roberts go barrelling into contact. Ireland thrown hefty defence in the way, but they have not rolled clear.

    A very kickable penalty for Leigh Halfpenny...

    Wayne Barnes of England is in charge. He cheekily asks Dan Biggar which way he is going to kick off.

    Plum down the centre must have been the answer. And Wales regain possession....
