After Jamie Heaslip put Ireland ahead, Ireland started to make most of the inroads. The backs are looking threatening with ball in hand, and Keith Earls is looking dangerous but rusty.
It was Earls' step that almost got Ireland a try. Unfortunately Earls was held up, the resulting scrum allowed an easy score for Darren Cave:
Ireland now lead Wales by 15-0 after 26 minutes.
