Ireland survived a mighty scare against Wales to keep their hopes of a Six Nations grand slam alive with a 27-18 win.
Few gave Wales a hope with the tournament favourites coming to Cardiff looking to extend the hosts’ losing run to 15 games, yet the two sides delivered an unexpected thriller. Wales surged into a second-half lead after the sending off of Ireland centre Garry Ringrose as they threatened an upset in Matt Sherratt’s first game in interim charge.
