Ireland See Off Wales 27–17 To Keep Six Nations Hopes Alive, Set Up Triple Crown Bid

Jamison Gibson-Park marked his 50th cap by calling the bonus-point win scrappy.

Overview

  • The bonus-point victory preserved a narrow path to the title and teed up a final-week meeting with Scotland for the Triple Crown.
  • Head coach Andy Farrell said a Triple Crown should never be taken for granted and targeted a strong finish to a mixed campaign.
  • Gibson-Park briefly left for a first-half blood substitution before returning to help close out the result.
  • The scrum-half said he feels physically good and suggested his late start at Test level could help extend his career.
  • Wales pushed Ireland throughout before late scores, including Jamie Osborne’s try and a Jack Crowley penalty, secured daylight in Dublin.
