  1. Breathless stuff

    Ireland 17-7 Wales

    Richie Rees
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    That passage of play went on for about five or six minutes.

    It was ridiculous!

  2. Ireland 17-7 Wales

    This game is back alive. Ciaran Frawley sends two cross-field kicks out wide, but Wales defend them well.

    Pin-point from Frawley, such an all-rounder.

  3. Ireland 17-7 Wales

    This is a different Wales. The game is breaking up and it is suiting Wales.

  4. Ireland 17-7 Wales

    Aaron Wainwright juggles the ball before punting it away on the swivel. He is a number eight!

    Modern day rugby players are a joke.

  5. 'Disappointing for Ireland'

    Ireland 17-7 Wales

    Chris Henry
    Former Ulster & Ireland flanker on BBC Radio Ulster

    It's fine margins but Ireland will be disappointed that they let the Welsh maul get the better of them. A great start to the second half for Wales though and they will look to build on it.

  6. Ireland 17-7 Wales

    Dafydd Jenkins ankle taps Bundee Aki, who was away. A huge play from the captain.

    Fight for every inch.

  7. 'Tap and go'

    Ireland 17-7 Wales

    Richie Rees
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    It was good to see scrum-half Tomos Williams taking a quick tap penalty in the build-up to the try. Wales needed to change the tempo of this game.

  8. try

    Try - Ireland 17-7 Wales

    Penalty try

    Tadhg Beirne's illegal actions stops what would have been a certain try. He is sent to the sin-bin.

    Comeback under way...

  9. Try review - Wales

    Ireland 17-0 Wales

    The maul is brought down. Would a try have been scored?

  10. Ireland 17-0 Wales

    Wales will have the first opportunity of the half as they opt to send a penalty into the corner.

    Peter O'Mahony not a happy bunny.

  11. Ireland 17-0 Wales

    Fabulous take from Cameron Winnett. If Wales are to take any positives they may well have found a full-back for over a decade.

  12. Kick-off

    Ireland 17-0 Wales

    Wales need a miracle. They did nearly come back from 27 points down against Scotland in round one...

    We are back under way.

  13. Clean sheet?

    HT: Ireland 17-0 Wales

    Ireland's 36-0 win against Italy was the first time that Ireland have kept a team scoreless in this championship since beating England 17-0 at Lansdowne Road in 1987.

    Could they do it again?

  14. 'Ireland are relentless'

    Ireland 17-0 Wales

    Jonny Bell
    Former Ulster and Ireland centre on BBC Radio Ulster

    Ireland's attack is relentless and that makes it difficult for Wales. They are defending well but you can only take so much before the dam breaks.

  15. 'Ireland faster and stronger'

    HT: Ireland 17-0 Wales

    Chris Henry
    Former Ulster & Ireland flanker on BBC Radio Ulster

    Not a perfect half from Ireland but their speed and physicality has caused Wales so many headaches.

    The scrum has been dominant, but the line-out is one area that needs work.

  16. 'Difference between the sides'

    HT: Ireland 17-0 Wales

    Emyr Lewis
    Former Wales flanker on BBC Radio Cymru

    The difference between the sides is so obvious in possession.

    When Wales have the ball they have been clumsy and things slow down.

    When Ireland have the ball they produce quick ball and don’t allow the defensive line to reform.

  17. 'Overpowered and outmuscled'

    HT: Ireland 17-0 Wales

    Gareth Griffiths
    BBC Sport Wales at Aviva Stadium

    Wales have given away as many penalties in the first half against Ireland as they did in the first two games against Scotland and England. That figure is nine.

    Warren Gatland's side are being overpowered and outmuscled by Ireland who have been dominant in every facet.

  18. Wales still in it

    HT: Ireland 17-0 Wales

    In Cardiff, Wales stayed in the fight. In Twickenham, Wales stayed in the fight.

    They are still in this one, but must score next.

  19. Half-time - Ireland 17-0 Wales

    No surprises in Dublin after 40 minutes.

  20. Ireland 17-0 Wales

    Bang on Nick. Wales can't complain as he has been spot on so far.
