What Happened
Ireland's Jacob Stockdale ended his five-year wait for an international try, and Jack Conan crashed over for a second try just 10 minutes into the game. However, the try was ruled out for Tom O'Toole's knock on, setting up a nervy night for Ireland.

The win leaves Ireland a point off France and sets up a Triple Crown showdown against Scotland next week. Wales, on the other hand, faces Italy on the final weekend in Cardiff, looking to avoid the wooden spoon for the third successive Six Nations.
