    Ireland 24-14 Wales

    Ireland sent out a statement of intent as they ran in four tries to end Wales' hopes of consecutive Grand Slams with a deserved 24-14 win in Dublin.

    The reigning Six Nations champions had chances to fight back before Conway's late finish in the corner and missed a glorious chance when Hadleigh Parkes lost control of the ball as he stretched to ground it over the try-line.

    It is Wales' first Six Nations defeat since they last visited Dublin two years ago as their eight-match winning run in the competition came to an end.

    Wales couldn't hold on to territory and that's what gave Ireland victory.

    Wales didn't have the composure or clinical finishing Ireland had this afternoon.

    This was the time for Wales to find out where they were at.

    They now know they've got quite a few 'work-ons'.

    A lot of improvement for Ireland.

    Playing that expansive game they want to play but doing it smartly.

  6. Full-time - Ireland 24-14 Walespublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Wales responded with scores from scrum-half Tomos Williams and flanker Justin Tipuric but they will have to admit they were outplayed by their hosts today.

  8. Yellow Card - CJ Standerpublished at 78 mins

    No sooner is he named man-of-the-match but CJ Stander is yellow carded for continual offending at the ruck.

  9. Ireland's patience keypublished at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2020

    Ireland 19-7 Wales

    Garin Jenkins
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    Ireland haven't done anything flamboyant but what they've done is get on the front foot and when they have had a territorial advantage they've been able to put their foot on the ball.

    That gives time and chips away at the opposition and that's where Ireland have had the upper hand.

    Ireland have done this throughout the whole game.

    They force Wales to give up the edge and then it's really good, crisp passing.

    If anybody deserves a try it is the Munster man. The conversion is missed.

    Ireland 19-7 Wales

    Wales wing George North has barely been in this game and his miserable afternoon continues when he drops the ball in the Wales 22 to put the visitors again under pressure.

    Wales have been chasing a game they don't deserve to win.

    We're playing all the rugby around the Wales 22.

    Wales are going to find it incredibly hard to score twice from here.
