Wales head coach Gareth Tandy is set to recall Ellis Mee for the crucial Six Nations match against Ireland in Dublin. The Leicester wing, who started against England and France but missed the Scotland game, is poised to return after Blair Murray's brief appearance when Callum Hamer-Webb suffered a nose injury. Mee's strength in the aerial game makes him a valuable asset against the Irish.

Hamer-Webb's Test debut against Scotland was mixed, as he was caught out of position when Finn Russell exploited space left after chasing Jarrod Evans' penalty kick, leading to Darcy Graham's try. Meanwhile, Tommy Bow performed strongly after coming on against Scotland but was also caught by Russell's restart. Alex Mann will partner with Cardiff teammate Ben Thomas in the back row, while number eight Taine Basham remains an injury concern.

Dan Biggar will return to pull the strings after Sam Costelow's bright display was cut short by an ankle injury. Jarrod Evans has been used off the bench five times by Tandy without starting since 2021. Wales haven't beaten Ireland away in the Six Nations since 2012 or won in Dublin since 2015, making this selection crucial as they attempt to end a 14-game losing streak in the tournament.
