    Forget Wales winning. Let's just get some points! It's humiliating, coming in as reigning champions to not even get a score on the board.

    This has to go down as one of the worst starts to a title defence in Six Nations history?

    Ireland 29-0 Wales

    After good breakdown work from replacement prop Dillon Lewis to earn a turnover penalty, Callum Sheedy's first contribution is to fail to find touch with his penalty.

    Luckily for him, Ireland's next clearance goes dead and Wales have a scrum just inside the Irish half.

    Ireland 29-0 Wales

    Aaron Wainwright picks up at the base of a Wales scrum inside their own 22 and Dan Biggar clears into touch.

    That's Biggar's final act of the game. Callum Sheedy replaces the Wales skipper.

  5. Replacementpublished at 69 mins

    Ireland 29-0 Wales

    A reprieve for Wales as Ireland are guilty of accidental offside, giving Wales a scrum near their own try line.

    Nothing's getting easier for the visitors, though. Ireland bring on Lions scrum-half Conor Murray to replace Jamison Gibson-Park.

    Wales need to be more disciplined or they will be facing another yellow card soon.

    Mexican wave alert.

    That's harsh on Ireland's performance today, it doesn't deserve a Mexican wave.

    Wales are in at the side of an Ireland maul, so another Irish penalty leads to another Carbery kick to the corner.

    Someone's going to have to take a gamble and take the attack to Ireland. Wales are being so passive. Can they get the ball to Josh Adams or Rees-Zammit to make a move?

    Ireland have a penalty near the Welsh 22, which Joey Carbery kicks to the corner.

    This could get even worse for Wales.

  11. Replacementpublished at 66 mins

    Garry Ringrose's kick turns the Welsh defence and replacement scrum-half Gareth Davies kicks to touch.

    Ireland have a line-out near the Welsh 22 and make a couple more changes as Ryan Baird and Cian Healy replace James Ryan and Andrew Porter.

    The Welsh regions not performing is nothing new, but the national team struggling is. Wayne Pivac did so well last year but the question is, can he bring these young players through?

    Johnny Sexton's work is done for the day. He's been replaced by Joey Carbery.

    Ireland 29-0 Wales

    Josh Adams is back on and wins possession for Wales with a thunderous tackle on Caelan Doris.

    The ball is worked right to Louis Rees-Zammit, who gets a rare attacking touch.

    Taine Basham then makes half a break on the other side but he is penalised for not releasing. Peter O'Mahony with the turnover penalty.

    Mack Hansen on debut, wow. He has shown exactly why Andy Farrell put his faith in him.

    Try - Ireland 29-0 Walespublished at 60 mins

    Garry Ringrose

    Ireland have their bonus-point try and it comes from a turnover following a Welsh line-out.

    They spread the ball wide to the right, where centre Garry Ringrose scythes through the Welsh midfield and motors over.

    Easy score. Ireland are embarrassing Wales.

    Johnny Sexton misses his conversion.

    Ireland get another penalty for a collapsed scrum and Peter O'Mahony howls in celebration like a hyena.

    Johnny Sexton kicks to touch in the Welsh 22. Ireland smell blood.

    A lack of concentration from Liam Williams. It's a nice ball, there's no excuse for that. Wales' heads are down, the body language isn't great.

    This is where Wales are missing their big leaders in Alun Wyn Jones and Ken Owens.

    I'm not sure how much longer Johnny Sexton is going to stay on the pitch.

    Ireland 24-0 Wales

    Another Wales attack goes nowhere fast. The ball is near halfway and the forwards are carrying gamely enough, but it all breaks down again as Liam Williams knocks on.

    This has been a miserable day for the reigning champions.
