  1. Ireland 12-10 Wales

    Rob Baloucoune tries to race in off the back of the scrum but Louis Rees-Zammit puts the ball into touch.

    Ireland win the penalty for offside, go quickly and are back on the Welsh line.

    Jack Crowley got absolutely hammered there but thankfully he bounced up quickly and his gumshield has not yet indicated an HIA.

  3. Ireland 12-10 Wales

    Jack Crowley takes a bit of a heavy hit and Karl Dickson stops play, but there doesn't look to be any foul play so we'll get back under way with an Irish scrum.

    Ireland are predictable in attack, they need something a bit different.

  5. Ireland 12-10 Wales

    Ireland have the ball just inside the Welsh half and are trusting the forwards to try and chip forward.

    They haven't made a lot of ground so far.

    Ireland really are a shadow of their former selves: They can’t fight the reality of losing generational players (& replacing them with mediocre ones), and the inevitable ageing of the rest. The trajectory of the last few years is undeniable (with the England game a clear outlier)

    Martin, Cardiff

    54 years a fan and I’ve never seen a prop score a wingers’ try! Happy Days!

    Marc, Powys

    Wales are doing me proud! I fear the tackle count will hurt them though, sadly still predict Ireland to get a big lead in the final 20 mins

    Scott Williams
    Wales centre on BBC Radio Cymru

    Wales are in a similar position to what they were against Scotland.

    They need to learn from that, and keep it going for the full 80.

    But we know what Ireland can do, they can score tries and counter on the mistakes Wales can make.

  8. Kick-off

    Ireland 12-10 Wales

    The opening 40 minutes weren't overly pretty, Carre try aside, but it was intriguing.

    What will the second half have in store?

    That man has don't it so many times for Cardiff, I can't believe the Irish haven't picked him up expecting it. It's one of the reasons he was bought into the squad.

    Dani, Cardiff

    Absolutely ridiculous decision to kick possession away with 1min on the clock. You've just scored to open a gap. Such a basic tactic of keeping possession and getting to half time with momentum on your side. Really poor decision.

    Thom, Northern Ireland

    I'm Irish and even I was cheering that Wales try. Go on big fella!

    Do we need the back three when we have Carre on the ball?

    You can question his fitness in the past, but you can put them to bed now.

    He does it for Saracens week in, week out.

    You can see Baloucoune face, he was bricking it!

    Robin McBryde
    Former Wales forwards & Leinster coach on S4C

    Wales have been incredible, when they finally got into the game, they've been brilliant.

    We can talk about Rhys Carre, but they need to build on this and start strong in the second half.

    Not give Ireland too much control because we know what they can do.

    This Welsh team have been poor for so long, but the improvement against Scotland was there. They are playing well against the Irish. They just need some luck i guess.

    If Wales start the second half like they have finished the first half then the doubts could soon creep in for Ireland.

    That try gives all of us who don't "look like we're fast" hope for the future

    The pace on Carre, Da Iawn Cymru!

    That's exactly how you respond before the half is up.

    Tired? Who's tired?

  19. HT: Ireland 12-10 Wales

    There's something absolutely magnificent about watching a front row roaming in open space. I can't really put in words how impressive that try was*.

    *I understand that's literally my job, but it was that good a finish. You'll be able to check it out on the BBC Sport app and socials later on.

    It's like watching Gethin Jenkins again!!!! That try is every front rowers dream.

    No better sight in rugby than a prop in full flight!
