  1. Ireland 28-0 Wales

    Poor lineout for Ireland with a skewed throw, but Wales knock-on on halfway.

    A resulting penalty from the scrum sees Ireland kick to touch inside Wales' 22.

    The worst possible start for Wales in this second half.

    Make mistakes and Ireland will punish you.

    Katie Corrigan (42 mins)

    What a start to the second half!

    Llecu George attempts to clear from her own 22, but takes much too long and is charged down by winger Katie Corrigan. She re-gathers the ball and races in under the sticks for her second try in green.

    Dannah O'Brien makes no mistake from straight in-front.

    'Wonderful play!' - Ireland's Corrigan scores a try against Wales

  4. Kick-off

    Ireland 21-0 Wales

    Dannah O'Brien of Ireland gets us restarted in Cork.

    Ireland well placed to earn a first win in eight contests.

  5. Half-time

    HT: Ireland 21-0 Wales

    Dannah O'Brien kicks it off and the whistle for half-time comes.

    Ireland have been truly dominant and have put themselves in a fantastic position to get their first win of this years Six Nations Championship.

    They will be hoping for a bonus-point try in the second period.

  6. Ireland 21-0 Wales

    Wales finally attack with some menace as they win a lineout inside the Irish 22, and drive hard from the lineout. However, Sisilia Tuipulotu can't hold a pass and fumbles it. That should be half-time.

  7. Ireland 21-0 Wales

    Outstanding from Wales' turnover queen Alex Callender.

    Has she prevented Ireland wrapping up the bonus point before half-time?

  8. Ireland 21-0 Wales

    That was an excellent turnover close to her own line from Wales' player Alex Callender.

    Some powerful carries for Ireland but they didn't get support in there quick enough.

  9. Replacement

    Ireland 21-0 Wales

    Inside-centre Kerin Lake is forced off with an arm injury for the Welsh team. Courtney Keight comes on. Manager Ioan Cunningham must be an anxious man right now.

  10. Ireland 21-0 Wales

    Bullocking run from Aoife Wafer, slicing through the Welsh defence and into the 22. She is stopped in her tracks but referee Sara Cox is going back for a penalty to the girls in green. Forty-six metres with the ball in hand from the back-rower.

  11. Ireland 21-0 Wales

    Wales over 100 tackles already, Ireland on 46.

  12. Wafer scores Ireland's first try

    Ireland 21-0 Wales

    'She is a powerful operator!' - Ireland's Wafer scores first try against Wales

  13. Replacement

    Ireland 21-0 Wales

    Early tactical change from Wales. Number eight, Bethan Lewis is removed and Natalia John is on. Big move this early

  14. Ireland 21-0 Wales

    You have to give credit to this Ireland team.

    They have come out with intent and bullied Wales off the park in the opening 25 minutes.

    Wales have got to find something or this could be a very long afternoon.

  15. try

    Try Ireland 21-0 Wales

    Neve Jones ( 26 mins)

    It's try number three and it's all too easy.

    From the penalty lineout, the Irish maul towards the Welsh line from five metres and it is Neve Jones at the base who touches down.

    Wales just can't get going.

    Dannah O'Brien makes it three out of three off the tee

  16. Ireland 14-0 Wales

    Breathless spell shortly after the restart.

    Ireland win a penalty 30-metres out. Aoibheann Reilly taps it quick and goes. Ireland go through a number of phases before they win another penalty, and again three points are turned down and it goes to the corner

  17. Ireland 14-0 Wales

    Ceri Coleman-Phillips
    BBC Sport Wales at Virgin Media Park

    Wales are their own worst enemies here, they're just not looking after the ball.

    It all started with a lineout steal, a set piece they struggled with during the England defeat.

  18. try

    Try Ireland 14-0 Wales

    Eve Higgins (20 mins)

    Dominant from Ireland.

    It all started with a rip close to the halfway and a sniping break through the middle from scrum-half Aoibheann Reilly. She was hauled down five-metres out, but the ball was recycled right, and centre Eve Higgins thunders over from close range.

    Dannah O'Brien is on target once more from the tee

  19. Ireland 7-0 Wales

    Fast recycling the key for Ireland so far. 72% of rucks are completed in under three seconds, whereas the visitors have only managed to complete 42% in the same time.

  20. Ireland 7-0 Wales

    Ceri Coleman-Phillips
    BBC Sport Wales at Virgin Media Park

    Wales once again expoited out wide - there was no way they were going to stop Aoife Wafer from there.

    It has been a Welsh weakness for the past couple of years and something they need to tighten up on.
