Wales slipped to a 15th straight defeat in a 27-18 home loss to Six Nations champions Ireland on Saturday, but the hosts played with endeavour and ambition not seen in recent games. Ireland secured the Triple Crown and top the table with 14 points from three matches,

So Ireland march on but boy did they get a scare here in Cardiff. Jack Conan scored early but Garry Ringrose's 20-minute red card allowed Wales to lead at half-time through Jac Morgan's try. Jamie Osborne continued Ireland's fight-back as they level to game at 18-18 with 25 minutes left to play
