Wales are back in possession from the restart and it's time for a bit of foot tennis.

Dan Biggar puts boot to ball to test the Irish back three but Rob Kearney returns the ball with interest as it trickles into touch.

Given the way the game has gone, I think that Joe Schmidt will actually be happy with this scoreline. For me Wales have been the dominant side in the opening half-hour.

That was a great angle by Hadleigh Parkes, coming onto the ball at pace and straight through to go over

Rhys Patchell has been forced off with a head injury suffered in the build-up to the first Ireland try and replacement Dan Biggar made an immediate impression with an interception but was just held up by Rob Kearney.

But Hadleigh Parkes dived over for Wales' opening try which Halfpenny converts.

Rhys Patchell is not coming back on the field so Biggar will be on permanently. A big blow for Patchell.

Dan Biggar IS held up over the Irish line by Rob Kearney, who shows great pace to cover across.

But the danger is not over and Wales have the scrum five metres out.

What can they do from here?

Wales retain the line-out and kick for touch and it's Rory Best's turn to throw the ball in.

It's moved off the top but Johnny Sexton's pass is intercepted by Dan Biggar.

The Welsh fly-half pins his ears back but he looks to be held up by Rob Kearney over the line.

Adrian Hadley counted eight support staff on the pitch after a breakdown that led to a brief halt in play.

Ireland get us back underway with the scrum and Johnny Sexton play for territory as he kicks through.

Leigh Halfpenny watches the ball bounce into touch and Wales will have the throw deep inside their own half.

We are just having a pause in proceedings as Tomas Francis receives attention for what appears to be a cut above his right eye.

This time the Wales full-back makes no mistake and Wales are on the board.

"Unfortunately Rhys Patchell missed Aki and Jonathan Davies was too tight in defence - that was the first real opportunity Ireland have had"

Chance for Wales to get on the scoreboard here as they are awarded a penalty close to the touchline after a high tackle.

Can Leigh Halfpenny make amends for his earlier miss?

Dan Biggar kicks the ball deep into the Irish half and we are back underway.

Can Wales hit back straight away?

Trouble for Wales. Rhys Patchell is heading to the touchline. Not too sure what is up with the Wales fly-half. He bravely took down a couple of maurading back row in the passage of play before the try. It might just be a head injury assessment.

Dan Biggar is on in his place.

That Rory Best's first two line-outs were stolen will have done nothing for the Irish public's already shaken confidence in their team's set-piece.

But, the third one set-up a try as has so often been the case in the Joe Schmidt era.

It is a massive weapon for them... when they get it right.

The first opportunity that Ireland have they take. They got field position when Rhys Patchell missed his tackle on Bundee Aki. Jonathan Davies just got a bit tight to Rob Kearney, who changed his angle and gout around his outside shoulder.

The crowd are off their seats for the first time as Bundee Aki breaks through the tackle and offloads to Jordan Larmour.

The ball is knocked on but play is brought back to an early penalty. Johnny Sexton prods the ball into touch and here comes the heave.

Wales come forward once more with Ross Moriarty but Ireland get off the line quickly before poaching the ball on the ground.

Andy Farrell is earning his pay cheque so far this afternoon.
