Nice to see a Kiwi score the opening try of the 2022 6 Nations. Ireland 7 Wales 0.

Sexton hits a penalty wide. Still 7-0 after 10 minutes.

sparky

Ireland playing a high tempo, getting go forward ball regularly. Could be a long afternoon for Wales.

sparky

Sexton with a second penalty attempt but further out. Held up in the wind again. Still 7-0.

sparky

More pressure from Ireland. All a green tide at the moment. Wales hold their line but give away a penalty. No mistake from Sexton this time. 10-0.

Why are high tackles ignored when Ireland wrap a guy up by his shoulders and neck to try and force a maul?

Ireland player ripping the ball while on the ground at the previous ruck too. Ignored by Jack O.

sparky

Half time. Ireland 10 Wales 0. Wales the much busier team in defence. Ireland very strong at set piece, trying to play high tempo, but making a few mistakes.

How we’re only 10 down is baffling
Gibson Park keeping us in it

Ireland defense is benchmark.

Wales looking dire in broken play, not very Welsh like.

sparky

Conway with a try early in the second half after a series of penalties against Wales. 17-0.

sparky

Ireland yet to concede a penalty. Their organisation and discipline are outstanding.

Not great defence from Adams. Should have had him covered.

He's not a Centre. Odd to pick him out of position.

sparky

Adams now given a Yellow Card. High hit off the ball. Could have been a Red.

sparky

Conway scores his second. 22-0. Ireland far, far too good for this Wales team.

sparky

Sexton with the kick. 24-0. Huge gulf in class between these teams. 50 minutes gone.

sparky

In the 54th minute of the game, Wales get awarded their first penalty of the match.
