Ireland secured a 27-18 victory against Wales at the Principality Stadium. Jack Conan opened the scoring with a try, which was converted by Sam Prendergast. Despite early penalties from Gareth Anscombe, Wales struggled to capitalize on their chances, especially after Garry Ringrose received a red card. In a remarkable response, Wales scored two quick tries from Jac Morgan and Tom Rogers just after halftime, taking the lead momentarily. However, Ireland regained control, with Jamie Osborne scoring a crucial try, followed by consistent penalties from Prendergast. The Irish fly half proved instrumental, contributing significantly to the scoreboard. Wales could not recover, and Ireland held on for a well-deserved win.
