Ireland secured a bonus-point victory over Wales with a 27-17 win at the Aviva Stadium, keeping their Six Nations and Triple Crown hopes alive. Tries from Jacob Stockdale, Jack Crowley, Jack Conan, and Jamie Osborne helped Ireland claim their third consecutive Six Nations win, maintaining pressure on leaders France.

Wales showed marked improvement under Steve Tandy but fell to their 15th consecutive Six Nations defeat. Prop Rhys Carre scored his third try in three matches with a sensational 30-metre solo effort, while James Botham also crossed. Despite the loss, Wales remained competitive, trailing by just two points in the 63rd minute.

The victory lifts Ireland to second in the Six Nations table and sets up a Triple Crown-decider against Scotland next Saturday. Ireland head coach Andy Farrell praised Wales' improvement, calling it a "hard-fought win" against a team showing significant defensive strides. Captain Caelen Doris acknowledged areas for improvement, particularly the lack of clinical edge shown in previous matches.
