Wales 10 Ireland 34: Andy Farrell's side open their Six Nations campaign in impressive fashion with a convincing bonus point win in Cardiff (via IrishTimesSport )
Not been a good half for Ireland so far, lacking the intensity of the first half. Scrum is overwhelmed and Casey is hounded out and Wales turn over, win the penalty and kick for touch again. More good defending though from Ireland as they hold on. Sexton looks dazed and has been replaced by Ross Byrne.TMO review check for a tackle by Williams on Sexton. Slightly high tackle, upright, looked a little harsh as there wasn’t excessive force but the new rules are strict.
Sheehan then gets the ball and accelerates like a winger with a grubber kick and it goes out of play.Henderson comes on and immediately fouls Williams stupidly with a late tackle. Get away without the card. Sexton takes on a risky kick and Dyer intercepts on the other side. Frantic stuff as Ireland turn it over again.Liam Williams with a brilliant run as he goes back four or five players, offloads to Tipuric but he overhits the pass to Dyer. Big let-off for Ireland.
