    Wales made 101 tackles in that first half. Usually in a game you're looking at around 120 each after 80 minutes!

    It has been all Ireland, Wales are still in the game but I'm worried there isn't much physicality to come on from the bench.

    Better from Wales in the second quarter of the first half but Ireland seem to have the benefit of the strong wind after half-time.

    Wales will need to go through the phases and hope Ireland's disciplined and dynamic defence somehow creaks. The home side did not give away a penalty in the first half.

    Wayne Pivac will be glad his side are still within 10 points.

    Ireland 10-0 Wales

    That's a really good defensive set by Wales to see out the half there.

    They've been a distant second best for the entire half and yet are still well in the game at just 10-0. Ireland have played some lovely stuff and should be further ahead and Johnny Sexton will have a few choice words with himself about those two penalties though.

    Sitters. They currently aren't costing Ireland, and he'll be praying it stays that way.

    Ireland opened the game with a proper purple patch, attacking with real intent. As the game wore on though, it looked like they lacked some confidence and made a few mistakes, maybe like they were trying too hard.

    Wales' attack wasn't as inventive but they are hanging in.

    Ireland have had the upper hand from the first whistle but they'll be frustrated not to have more points on the board.

  8. Half-time - Ireland 10-0 Walespublished at 15:02 Greenwich Mean Time 5 February 2022

    Wales secure possession from the line-out and captain Dan Biggar puts the ball out to bring the first half to a close.

    Wales will be relieved to only be trailing 10-0. Ireland bossed that half.

    Ireland 10-0 Wales

    Ireland are camped in the Welsh 22, with their forwards carrying powerfully. Tadhg Furlong in particular is in top bulldozing form.

    Jamison Gibson-Park tries an audacious pass to Mack Hansen on the left wing but it's too high for the debutant and the ball goes into touch.

    Don't hold your breath, Tom. Ireland are on the attack again and may well extend that 10-point lead before the break.

    Tom Shanklin
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra

    Wales just can't get any momentum. It's so stop-start and any ball they do get is turned over after a couple of phases.

    But they will be happy to go into half-time only 10 points down!

  12. Postpublished at 37 mins

    Ireland 10-0 Wales

    Ireland pinch Wales' line-out but lose possession so play is brought back for a Welsh knock-on.

    Ireland then earn a penalty from a scrum, which referee Jaco Peyper says was collapsed by Wales.

    That's the first scrum penalty today.

    Ireland are offloading well but when you throw that 50-50 ball, there's always a risk and Johnny McNicholl read it brilliantly to get Louis Rees-Zammit on the ball.

    Wales steal possession and Louis Rees-Zammit clears.

    Ireland's Hugo Keenan then kicks to touch and there's a break in play as Ireland skipper Johnny Sexton gets a little treatment.

    Ireland 10-0 Wales

    Ireland move into the Welsh half and they're looking dangerous, with the ever dynamic hooker Ronan Kelleher carrying well.

    Mack Hansen also gets a couple of touches in the attack. It's been a strong debut from the Connacht wing so far.

    Wales can't get the ball moving quickly at all, Ireland's defence is putting so much pressure on, making them slow down and not allowing them to attack.

    Ireland 10-0 Wales

    Ireland's defence is rock-solid. Wales keep the ball for several phases but barely cross the halfway line.

    Ireland's discipline has been spot on. They've not given a penalty away, and barely giving any possession away either, so Wales can't get away at all.

    Ireland 10-0 Wales

    A decent attacking set from Wales is stopped in its tracks as Ireland number eight Jack Conan clamps down on Lions team-mate Wyn Jones to earn a penalty for holding on.

  20. Postpublished at 29 mins

    Ireland 10-0 Wales

    Scrums have been pretty even so far. Ireland's holds firm in their own 22 and Jamison Gibson-Park box-kicks clear again.

    Wales have possession near halfway, Dan Biggar kicks high and Hugo Keenan drops the ball for a Welsh scrum.

    It's getting a bit scrappy.
