    Wales 3-27 Ireland

    Dan Biggar is desperately trying to gee up his forwards who have just held out another Irish attack.

    Great chop tackle from Justin Tipuric.

    Good play by Liam Williams, he has looked very safe under the high ball but they are always under pressure.

    Ireland are always competing for the ball.

    It's hard to know if this all about how good Ireland have been or how bad Wales have been.

    Either way, it's comprehensive.

    Comes to something when the home crowd are cheering a penalty.

    They haven't had much else to celebrate!

    Johnny Sexton is the Tom Brady of Ireland! He's the Tom Brady of rugby at the moment!

    These are all basic penalties.

    Wales' discipline has been really really poor.

    Ireland are always so good in the air.

    Huge Keenan beats Liam Williams for the high ball and Ireland on the attack again.

    This is a huge problem for Wales!

    They can't wait for half-time, it's just a bit of damage limitation at the moment.

    Any points that Wales can take they need to, and they have to get back in at half-time to regroup and reassess.

    Manna from heaven for Sexton... who is closing in on Ronan O'Gara's all-time Six Nations points record.

    From a Welsh perspective it looks like they're just hanging on at the moment.

    Make that eight! And Sexton has a straight shot at goal.

    Wales 3-24 Ireland

    Wales have already conceded seven penalties after little more than a quarter of the game gone.

    That cannot carry on.

    Missed opportunity for Wales there.

    First real look at Wales centre Joe Hawkins on his Six Nations debut.

    But the Irish defence is all over the breakdown and they've won a penalty and the chance to clear.

    The Irish celebrate as if they've scored.

    Biggar should have seen Lowe there, he was waiting for it, the pass came and he just pounced.

    There is no need to push it in that situation.

    That was cruel for Wales because it was their first attack they put together.

    Ireland's power and precision and Wales' indiscipline have proved the integral facets of the opening quarter.

    It is looking ominous for Warren Gatland's men with Ireland in the mood this afternoon in Cardiff.

    Try: Wales 3-24 Irelandpublished at 14:36 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February 2023

    James Lowe, con Johnny Sexton

    Wales on the attack but James Lowe anticipates Biggar's pass, intercepts and runs 60 metres to score.

    There was absolutely no-one going to catch him.

    That's what happens when you've made such a bad start as Wales.

    You force things... and risk being picked off.

    Discipline is poor at the moment for Wales, they're just giving them an easy out, just giving them chances, you can't do that.

    It just shows you how much pressure Wales are under at the moment.
