Wales looked every inch a tier two rugby nation as they were completely destroyed by Ireland in their Six Nations opener.
The final score, gruesome though it was, flattered Wayne Pivac’s men. Heaven only knows how they only trailed 10-0 at half-time.
By the final whistle, tries from centres Bundee Aki and Gary Ringrose, and two from wing Andrew Conway had handed the rampant Irish an easy bonus point win. Wales grabbed a meaningless late consolation try when flanker Taine Basham intercepted a Tadhg Beirne pass.
