    Wales give away a cheap penalty and there goes their first chance.

    Former Ulster & Ireland flanker on BBC Radio Ulster

    Ireland didn't panic and everyone knew what they were doing. Wales' defence was strong but Ireland went coast-to-coast for a lovely try.

    Ireland 17-0 Wales

    Wales now get into the Ireland 22 and win a penalty in front of the posts.

    They opt for the corner.

    Richie Rees
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    It is patient, composed and dynamic from Ireland and it is all coming from Wales giving them cheap entries into their 22.

    If we are brutally honest, Wales have not been in the game.

    I can't remember Wales being in Ireland's 22.

    James Lowe

    It was coming.

    Ireland smash their way at the line before swinging the ball wide. Calvin Nash gives the killer pass and over goes James Lowe untouched.

    Jack Crowley nails the extras from out wide.

    Discipline again costing Wales as ANOTHER penalty is given away. Down to the corner once again we go.

    Richie Rees
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    Discipline has been good for Wales in the first two rounds of the Six Nations. It is not here today so far.

    Ireland 10-0 Wales

    Jamison Gibson-Park scoots away from the scrum which allows James Lowe a run in space, but Wales get back and turn it over.

    All Ireland...

    Ireland 10-0 Wales

    Ireland win a free-kick at the scrum and Tadhg Furlong instantly calls for another crack at the Welsh scrum.

    Clearly homework has been done this week.

    Chris Henry

    You have to take these chances and grind out scores in Test matches. I would back Ireland's fitness and power going forward in this game.

    Already it feels like this game is getting away from Wales. Next score will be huge.

    Gareth Delve
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    That Ireland driving maul try was just a matter of time.

    It was executed expertly.

    Four tries in three games from Dan Sheehan.

    What a tournament he's having. He's flying.

    Right call!

    The maul gets going and over pops Dan Sheehan.

    Ireland 3-0 Wales

    Ireland's scrum has been criticised recently but there is no problem there as they win a penalty.

    No shot at goal however.

    Chris Henry
    Former Ulster & Ireland flanker on BBC Radio Ulster

    Ireland may need to start switching up their attack as Wales are getting off the line quickly and being disruptive.

    Ireland 3-0 Wales

    Josh van der Flier is next to find himself out on the wing. Then Jack Crowley goes cross-field to Dan Sheehan.

    The number on the jersey does not seem to matter in Ireland's attack.

  20. 'Wales guilty of indiscipline'published at 14:31 Greenwich Mean Time 24 February 2024

    Ireland 3-0 Wales

    Chris Henry
    Former Ulster & Ireland flanker on BBC Radio Ulster

    Ireland's speed has forced Wales into too many penalties and they won't be happy with that.
