Players out on the field…
The Welsh Anthem is already done and dusted… Ireland Anthem on now…
Anthems done…
Game ON!
Kick-Off by Wales!
Wales penalty, Jean Kleyn offside… posts from about 38m out… in front.
Missed!
Ireland 22m Drop out directly out, Wales scrum on the 22… middle of the field.
Still no score after 10 minutes…
Ireland penalty, well inside their own 22…
Another Ireland penalty inside their own 22.
Wales have enjoyed territorial dominance in the 1st 18 minutes…
Ireland 6m out… and attacking…
Try Ireland, Rob Kearney!
Ireland 7 / 0 Wales
Rhys Patchell off injured for Wales…
Leigh Halfpenny taken in the air…. penalty Wales
Ireland 7 / 3 Wales
Intercept by Hadleigh Parkes… but he does not have the speed and gets to the line but is then held up…
5m Wales scrum.
Try Hadleigh Parkes now, Wales… good line he ran, scored next to the sticks!
Ireland 7 / 10 Wales
Attack and parry, defend and attack… from both sides.
Very equal at this stage…
Wales penalty, 2m inside their own 10m line… against Jean Kleyn again.
It seems Wales much more able to use players with true Welsh heritage than Scotland, Ireland and England.
In this Ireland team I count 4 players who hail from outside Ireland… 2 South Africans (CJ Stander & Jean Kleyn), Bundee Aki (New Zealand) and maybe I am mistaken but I would think Josh van der Flier is also not a native Irishman.
Halftime
2nd Half ON!
Easy Mark caught by Leigh Halfpenny… but Ireland seem much more up for it so far in the 2nd half.
Ireland very kickable penalty, 5m outside the Welsh 22, about 15 from touch.
They opt to kick for the corner.
Reset lineout, as the players were all closing the gap…
Ireland over, held up.
5m Ireland scrum.
Ireland 5m penalty advantage for offside… penalty it is!
They opt to scrum, 5m left of the left post.
