Ireland secured an 18th Test victory in a row in Dublin, as they saw off Wales in Six Nations Round 3
Ireland’s quest for back-to-back Six Nations Grand Slams remains on, as they secured a 31-7 victory over Wales in Round 3 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
Hooker Dan Sheehan, wing James Lowe, full-back Ciaran Frawley and lock Tadhg Beirne scored tries in the bonus-point success, with out-half Jack Crowley finishing 100 per cent with the boot, landing a penalty and all four conversions.
Wales, who were 17-0 behind at half-time, rallied to hit back via a penalty try – for which Beirne was sin-binned – but they could not score again, leaving them with three defeats from the opening three rounds.
The victory was a record-extending 18th success in a row for Ireland at the Aviva Stadium, and a record-equalling 11th successive Six Nations Test win (level with England 2016-2017).
What’s next?
Ireland are next in action Saturday, March 9 for the fourth round of the championship, travelling to face England at Twickenham (4.45pm kick-off GMT).
Wales next host France at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Sunday, March 10 in Round 4 (3pm kick-off GMT).
