Ireland's Jacob Stockdale scores a try. It's a credit to this team, that's two dramatic finishes," Ireland centre Chris Farrell, man of the match in his Six Nations debut, said in a pitchside interview. After starting the tournament hampered by injuries, Wales welcomed back three British and Irish Lions while Ireland lost three of their own. Their ability to effortlessly change the point of attack was dizzying for the visitors' defence as smart breaks from Keith Earls and Rob Kearney, followed by more intense forward pressure put flanker Dan Leavy in for his first Six Nations try. But Wales were not done and a converted Aaron Shingler try - their first sniff at the Irish line in the second period - cut the deficit to a one-score game.
