WALES 10 IRELAND 34 IRELAND 32 FRANCE 19 ITALY 20 IRELAND 34 SCOTLAND 7 IRELAND 22 IRELAND 29 ENGLAND 16 Ireland made light of losing starting scrumhalf Jamison GibsonPark and replacement prop Cian Healy to injury on the morning of the match, lengthening an already considerable casualty list. Caelan Doris, James Ryan, James Lowe and Josh van der Flier crossed for tries and fullback Hugo Keenan was man of the match in Warren Gatlands first game of his second tenure as Wales coach. The clash between the world number one side, Ireland and the 2022 Grand Slam champions lived up to its billing as the home side produced one of the best performances of Andy Farrells tenure as head coach. Despite losing Johnny Sexton, Rob Herring and Tadhg Beirne to injury, tries from Hugo Keenan, James Lowe, Andrew Porter and Garry Ringrose secured a brilliant triumph. James Ryan took over as captain from the absent Johnny Sexton, Stuart McCloskey stepped in for Garry Ringrose, who was a late withdrawal, while Ross Byrne and Craig Casey made their first Six Nations starts together at halfback. James Ryan, Hugo Keenan, Bundee Aki and Mack Hansen (2) crossed for tries and ultimately it didnt matter that Ireland left a few scores behind too. Johnny Sexton, Tadhg Furlong, Garry Ringrose, Dan Sheehan returned from injury to start while Jamison Gibson-Park and Robbie Henshaw shrugged off their issues to make the bench. Ireland lost Caelan Doris, Iain Henderson, Sheehan, Ronan Kelleher and Ringrose to injury, Cian Healy came on at hooker and Josh van der Flier took the lineout throws. Tries from Mack Hansen, James Lowe and Jack Conan engineered a remarkable win. Ireland found a way to shrug off the initial constraints a fitful, error laced display in time to secure a hard-won victory in a game whose complexion changed, not immediately, with Freddie Stewards red card. Ireland found their attacking mojo through tries from Dan Sheehan (2), Robbie Henshaw and Rob Herring, while captain Johnny Sexton broke the Six Nations points scoring record to boot.
