  2. 'Wales don't need a lot'

    HT: Ireland 12-7 Wales

    Jamie Heaslip
    Former Ireland number eight on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Ireland are ahead on the board and ahead in terms of possession.

    But Wales have shown they don't need a lot to get into this game.

  3. Ireland on top

    HT: Ireland 12-7 Wales

    Ireland have been in charge for most of the first-half and deservedly lead at the interval through tries from full-back Jordan Larmour and prop Tadhg Furlong.

    Wales have had little attacking opportunities but have responded with a well-worked try from scrum-half Tomos Williams.

  4. Ireland 12-7 Wales

    Tomos Williams experiencing the highs and lows of international sport inside three minutes there, you can't account for that drop.

    Ireland are making hay out wide, Wayne Pivac will not be happy with how easily Ireland are getting themselves into opposition territory at the moment.

  5. 'Really skillful kick'

    That's a really skillful, low driving kick.

    Its trajectory is a nightmare for the full-back.

  6. 'Not pretty but tough'

    Ireland 12-7 Wales

    Jamie Heaslip
    Former Ireland number eight on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That is a try you've seen from Ireland over the years.

    It's not fancy or pretty, it's tough.

    The forwards just kept pouring around the corner and you're not going to stop them.

  7. 'Grasp the game'

    Ireland 12-7 Wales

    Philippa Tuttiett

    We said it was going to be a tight battle.

    Someone needs to take a grasp of the game.

  8. Ireland 12-7 Wales

    Wales launch another rare attack as they seek to come from behind following a towering catch from Leigh Halfpenny.

    But the move breaks down after the ball goes forward in the Ireland 22.

    Converted try, Ireland 12-7 Wales

    Tadgh Furlong, conversion Johnny Sexton

    From hero to villain. A terrible mistake from Tomos Williams on his own line as he drops a simple ball from a lineout.

    His error allows Ireland to have an attacking scrum and after some charges from the home forwards, Tadhg Furlong powers over and Sexton converts.

  10. 'Wales showing what they're capable of'

    Ireland 5-7 Wales

    Garin Jenkins

    Great try and that's the best passage we've seen from either side.

    Wales showing what they're capable of!

  11. 'Silky skills'

    Ireland 5-7 Wales

    Philippa Tuttiett
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Alun Wyn Jones may be the biggest man you've seen but he's also got those silky skills.

    Almost a blind offload there.

    And Tomas Williams is so athletic and will follow every slight break.

  12. try

    Converted try, Ireland 5-7 Wales

    Tomos Williams, conversion Dan Biggar

    Brilliant work from Alun Wyn Jones and Dan Biggar frees scrum-half Tomos Williams to cross under the posts. It was a brilliant pass from captain Jones.

    After a check with the television match official, the try is awarded and Biggar slots over the conversion.

  13. Replacement

    Ireland 5-0 Wales

    A big blow for Wales as free scoring wing Josh Adams is forced off the field injured to be replaced by Johnny McNicholl.

    Remember, Adams scored a hat-trick last week against Italy.

  14. 'Pressure building'

    Ireland 5-0 Wales

    Philippa Tuttiett
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Pressure just slowly building and building.

    There used to be a time when you said Wales were happier to defend but there's only so long you can soak up this amount of pressure for.

  15. 'Do not give that man an edge'

    Ireland 5-0 Wales

    Jamie Heaslip
    Former Ireland number eight on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Jordan Larmour - you do not give that man an outside edge.

    There's a big disconnect with Dan Biggar and Josh Adams.

    But great footwork from Larmour, he keeps his speed so well.

  16. Ireland 5-0 Wales

    Munster number eight CJ Stander was man-of-the-match against Scotland last weekend and he has just got another turnover to lay the foundations for another Ireland attack.

    But Wales regain possession and relieve the danger.

    Try, Ireland 5-0 Wales

    Jordan Larmour

    The Ireland pressure had to tell and full-back Jordan Larmour ghosts his way through the Welsh defence for the opening score.

    Wales centre Nick Tompkins will be disappointed he missed the initial tackle which allowed Larmour to score. Sexton woefully misses the conversion

  18. 'Vital turnovers'

    Ireland 0-0 Wales

    Wales are slowing things down and getting vital turnovers again.

    Nine turnovers for them last week.

  19. 'Ireland making a statement'

    Ireland 0-0 Wales

    Jamie Heaslip
    Former Ireland number eight on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Jacob Stockdale butchered a two-on-one, he took the ball then and turned it over.

    Ireland making a massive statement going for the corner.

  20. Ireland 0-0 Wales

    There was a welcome to international rugby for Nick Tompkins from his opposite number Robbie Henshaw and Iain Henderson as Ireland again made forays into the Welsh 22.

    Wales regained possession before giving away a penalty. Sexton goes for the try. But the decision backfires as Wales hold up the driving maul.
