Geraint Morgan: Familiar Priestland. Nobody else can come on and lose a match in his first 2 minutes.

The Wales fly-half holds his nerve to put Wales on the board.

Had he missed that Dan Biggar's injury would already have been flagged up as the match's turning point in the broadsheets' analysis pieces.

Liam Wiliams has already been smacked in the tackle by Ireland wing Andrew Trimble and now Keith Earls is joining in the fun.

But his attempt to dump-tackle the Wales full-back strays into a tip-tackle.

Liam Williams is back on his feet and Earls is perhaps lucky not to see yellow.

Priestland is lining up a kick. Just outside the 22m, 10m from the right touchline.

"Every single Wales player will be thinking 'why have we had a bad start again?'. Warren Gatland will be thinking 'how are we in this position again?'

"Ireland have done exactly what we expected them to do, but Wales have been ineffective and unable to stop them."

Any debut nerves from CJ Stander? Doesn't look like it. Ireland's new blind-side is seeing a lot of the ball, making the hard yards for the home side.

And the Munster man indirectly helped with Ireland's first try. All Welsh eyes were trained on the big man, allowing Conor Murray to twist his way through.

"I thought Wales had it covered, but the ball came back for Conor Murray and Justin Tipuric just bought the dummy."

"You just can't see the ball being grounded from any angle. But Ireland are still in a perfect attacking position - they have to come away with something."

The video official needed an X-ray machine rather than television replays.

There was just no way of telling through a pile of bodies if Jamie Heaslip had grounded the ball.

Scrum Ireland, five out to restart.

Are they there?

Jamie Heaslip emerges from a heap of bodies on the try line with the ball and a poker face.

Did Rob Evans manage to stop him before the whitewash?

The video official will decide...

Fraser Mycroft: Needing to do some reading on colonialism and trying to listen to the Six Nations is not working out for me The rugby it is.

Wales up on the Ireland 22 metre line, but Rhys Preistland spills a ball spun at his shins by Gareth Davies.

Rory Best fly-hacks on to start a foot race. Davies scrambles back, but Ireland are there in more numbers.

More problems for Wales.

Dan Biggar has limped off and doesn't look like he is coming back.

Rhys Priestland is an able deputy though and is on off the bench.

Robbie Henshaw is as low-slung a sportscar over the breakdown and Wales cannot shift him.

A turnover for Ireland inside their own 22 and the Aviva cheers are growing in belief.

"Dan Biggar is definitely struggling. He is a right-footed kicker, but his left foot is heavily strapped and that is the foot he places down on the ground and puts the weight on to it.

"It is hard to imagine that that strapping is not going to affect him. It will be a big blow for Wales if he goes off."

The shuffle, shoulder pop and sideways glance were all there - but the Dan Biggar routine is missing its usual finale of raised line judges' flags.

The Wales fly-half's kick is a shade wide from a tricky, but by no means impossible angle.
