Ireland condemned Wales to a record-extending 15th straight rugby loss after overcoming a 20-minute red card to rally for a 27-18 win and stay on course for an unprecedented third straight Six Nations title on Saturday.

So Ireland march on but boy did they get a scare here in Cardiff. Jack Conan scored early but Garry Ringrose's 20-minute red card allowed Wales to lead at half-time through Jac Morgan's try. Jamie Osborne continued Ireland's fight-back as they level to game at 18-18 with 25 minutes left to play

Ireland ultimately closed out the game, but if one moment summed up Wales’ renewed confidence, it was Blair Murray’s decision to run the ball from deep beyond the 80-minute mark—an act of defiance that hinted at Wales’ growing self-belief.
