If Warren Gatland thought he'd have a honeymoon period he was mistaken as his side were taken to the cleaners by a rampant Ireland outfit.
No matter how good a coach Gatland is, fixing all the issues of the Wayne Pivac era in the space of a few weeks was fanciful at best and in reality they were never going to beat the world's number one side first up.
This was Wales' heaviest defeat to Ireland in Cardiff since 2001 and in all honesty this game was lost after a mere 25 minutes.
