Text commentary from the Aviva Stadium as Andy Farrell’s side looks to keep their Grand Slam hopes alive

Catch up on all the action as a late Tadhg Beirne try gives Ireland a bonus point win at the Aviva StadiumFT: Ireland 31-7 Wales

Wales make a change at 10 with Lloyd coming on for Costelow. Ireland take off Porter and bring on Healy.That’s phenomenal from Baird, two line breaks in as many minutes to advance Ireland up the field after the kick-off. A spill ends the attack, but that was something. This bench impact from Ireland has been phenomenal.Frawley has a try on his first Irish start. After the maul, Aki and Conan go close and Gibson-Park hits Frawley on a lovely flat line to crash over. Crowley converts easily.

Ireland make changes as well. Jager is on for his debut, Furlong goes. McCarthy, Sheehan and O’Mahony also go, Kelleher, Ryan and Baird all enter.Ireland’s discipline is becoming issue. McCarthy takes a man in the air at the lineout and all of a sudden Wales are back in the 22.Twice Ireland attempt kick passes. The first from Frawley hits his man, the second from Crowley doesn’t and Wales gather. Lowe then is pinged for a neck roll.

Ireland have tightened their grip on the match as they go 17-0 clear of Wales after James Lowe scores try number two Ireland have tightened their grip on the match as they go 17-0 clear of Wales after James Lowe scores try number twoPiardi is beginning to lose patience with Wales. Dee gets in over the ball legally, but Jenkins, the skipper, was guilty of not rolling away. The Italian official warns Jenkins that his side need to improve their discipline. Crowley turns down an easy three in favour of the corner.: Off the scrum, Ireland break through Gibson-Park, Henshaw and then Lowe.

Ireland are wasteful with the opportunity, though. The Wales maul defence is good initially, Piardi tells Ireland to use it. They do make their way up towards the line but Wainright is in there to disrupt and earn a turnover.: Ireland are dominating at the breakdown. After Lowe clears from his own 22, this time it’s Porter coming up with the poach on the kick chase as Wales once again fail to release the ball. Crowley kicks down the line, Ireland have a lineout past the Welsh 10m line.
