Ireland take down Wales again in Dublin

Ireland ended the hope of back-to-back Grand Slams for Wales, with the Welsh losing for the first time in the Six Nations since their last visit to Dublin two years ago.

Match Commentary

81'		That's all from ESPN folks. Stay tuned for the match report and latest Six Nations news.
81'		And that's it! Ireland make it two wins from two in the Championship, while defending Grand Slam champions Wales suffer what will feel like a rare defeat in this tournament in recent times. It's 'Wayne's World' in Wales but the new head coach was left with a lot to be desired.
81'+1		24-14 End of second half
