Yellow Card – CJ Stander

Ireland 24-7 Wales

No sooner is he named man-of-the-match but CJ Stander is yellow carded for continual offending at the ruck.

His work is done today though.

Ireland’s patience key

Ireland 19-7 Wales

Garin Jenkins

Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

Ireland haven’t done anything flamboyant but what they’ve done is get on the front foot and when they have had a territorial advantage they’ve been able to put their foot on the ball.

That gives time and chips away at the opposition and that’s where Ireland have had the upper hand.

Wales wing George North has barely been in this game and his miserable afternoon continues when he drops the ball in the Wales 22 to put the visitors again under pressure.

‘Ireland siege Wales defence’

Ireland 19-7 Wales

Jamie Heaslip

Former Ireland number eight on BBC Radio 5 Live

We’re playing all the rugby around the Wales 22.

Wales are going to find it incredibly hard to score twice from here.

They are overplaying a little, Ireland are happy to just lay siege to the Wales defence.

It was the right decision to go for the scrum, Wales have had the upper hand.

But Ireland turned up for that one.

Key moment?

Ireland 19-7 Wales

Wales have been camped on the Ireland line and the home side have been warned for continually infringing with back-rower CJ Stander the main culprit.

Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones opted for an attacking scrum with a delay as both sides struggled for dominance at the set-piece.

And in what you sense could be a key moment Wales are then penalised for collapsing the scrum and Ireland clear the danger.

Disallowed try

Ireland 19-7 Wales

Wales have shown more adventure in the last couple of minutes with an offload game in evidence.

And they seemed to have gained the reward with a try from centre Hadleigh Parkes but it was ruled out by the television match official after it was adjudged the Wales back lost control in the grounding.

DANCING IN CIRCLES is a relationship study that draws parallels to the folk story of Saint Dwynwen. The Welsh Patron Saint of Lovers ostracised herself after her Love betrayed her and now takes new form in Hannah. Whilst fluidly transitioning between three time periods we learn about Hannah’s passionate youth and love for Aled until the break-down of their relationship. But when time reopens a wounded heart, can the ghosts of her past help her heal?

Storm Ciara on her way?

Ireland v Wales (14:15 GMT)

Michael Morrow

BBC Sport NI at Aviva Stadium

Storm Ciara is not causing chaos, not yet anyway.

That said, it is pretty windy in Dublin, easily enough to add a extra layer of jeopardy to the kicking game of both sides, but not enough to cause carnage.

Conor Murray will make his 80th international appearance today, and during his eight and a half years in the team he has taken Ireland’s box kicking game to new heights.

By his own lofty standards he was way off the mark in that regard last week, and it will be interesting to see a if combination of last week’s difficulty and a pretty windy day impacts how frequently Murray and Ireland employ the box kick today.

Ireland ready for Storm Ciara

Ireland v Wales (14:15 GMT)

Ireland scrum coach John Fogarty insists Andy Farrell’s side are prepared for the double onslaught of Wales and Storm Ciara.

Saturday’s Six Nations match against the Grand Slam champions in Dublin is forecast to be played in heavy rain and gusty conditions.

“We’ve put some scenarios in during the week so that we’re adaptable tomorrow,” said Fogarty.

“We’ve had a good week and we feel we are ready for Storm Ciara and Wales.”

Weather warnings

Ireland v Wales (14:15 GMT)

Storm Ciara has dominated some of the build-up to this game as we wait to see whether weather conditions will affect the game.

Here is what Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones had to say:

“Hopefully we are not talking and dwelling too much about the weather after the game,” said Jones.

“Hopefully, Michael Fish isn’t around either.”

Jones was referring to the weatherman who infamously failed to predict the Great Storm of 1987.

More facts and figures

Ireland v Wales (14:15 GMT)

Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images

Here are more facts and figures for the stats nerds. This time we are solely concentrating on Wales.

Wales have won their last eight matches in the Six Nations, scoring 208 points and conceding 92.

It is their longest winning streak in the tournament since a similar sequence from 2007 to 2009 (which ended in a 21-16 defeat to France).

A ninth consecutive victory would equal Wales’ Championship record, set in the Five Nations between 1970 and 1973.

Last weekend’s win against Italy was the first time Wales have prevented an opponent from scoring in a Six Nations match. They had conceded in each of their previous 100 games in the tournament.

George North’s try against Italy was his 20th in the Six Nations – only Shane Williams (22), Ian Smith (24 in the Five Nations) and Brian O’Driscoll (26) have scored more in the Championship.

Josh Adams has scored 10 tries in his last eight Tests.

Stats alert

Ireland v Wales (14:15 GMT)

Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images

Here is one for the statisticians among you.

Ireland v Wales Head-to-head

The Welsh have lost just one of their last five matches against Ireland in the Six Nations (W3, D1).

It is eight years since Wales’ last Six Nations win on Irish soil – a 23-21 victory at the Aviva Stadium in 2012.

Ireland beat Wales twice in warm-up matches before the 2019 World Cup but lost against them in the Six Nations earlier in the year.

Each of Wales’ three victories in Dublin in the Six Nations have been by four points or fewer.

This is the 130th meeting between the sides. Wales have won 69 times and Ireland 53.

Ireland have won 30 of the 63 matches on Irish soil, with Wales claiming 28 victories and five draws.

The headline news for Wales is that Saracens centre Nick Tompkins will make his first Test start against Ireland.

Tompkins is rewarded for his superb try-scoring replacement appearance in the 42-0 win over Italy in Cardiff in the opening round of fixtures.

George North returns to the wing after lining up in the Welsh midfield against Italy.

North replaces Johnny McNicholl who drops down to the replacements bench.

McNicholl is joined by scrum-half Gareth Davies, prop Rhye Carre and second-row Adam Beard as new faces on the bench.

Wales:Leigh Halfpenny; George North, Nick Tompkins , Hadleigh Parkes, Josh Adams; Dan Biggar, Tomos Williams; Wyn Jones, Ken Owens, Dillon Lewis, Jake Ball, Alun Wyn Jones (capt), Aaron Wainwright, Justin Tipuric, Taulupe Faletau.

Conor Murray starts at scrum-half with John Cooney again on the bench.

Leinster back row Max Deegan is set for his debut having been named among the replacements.

Ireland:Jordan Larmour; Andrew Conway; Robbie Henshaw, Bundee Aki, Jacob Stockdale, Johnny Sexton (captain), Conor Murray; Cian Healy, Rob Herring, Tadhg Furlong, Iain Henderson, James Ryan, Peter O’Mahony, Josh van der Flier, CJ Stander.

The Six Nations is up and running and Wayne Pivac is facing his first major test today since taking over as Wales coach from Warren Gatland.

A victory in an uncapped match against Barbarians and a 42-0 win over Italy in the opening Six Nations match has proved Pivac has enjoyed a winning start to his reign.

But facing Ireland in Dublin will prove a more daunting prospect in what promises to be a windy Aviva Stadium with Storm Ciara brewing.
