Overview
- Wales raced 12-0 ahead through Tom Howe and Thomas Bowen before Ireland seized control and secured the bonus point by the 36th minute.
- Ireland’s seven tries came from Daniel Ryan (2), Josh Neill, Diarmaid O’Connell, Christopher Barrett, Lee Fitzpatrick and Duinn Maguire.
- Ryan’s second was a length-of-the-field interception as he delivered a standout performance.
- Wales hit back through a Caio James brace and a late second from Bowen, with Osian Darwin-Lewis and Ireland’s Max Doyle receiving yellow cards.
- The win moves Ireland to second in the U20 Six Nations and sets up a Triple Crown opportunity against Scotland in Cork next weekend, while Wales remain fourth with only Scotland beaten.
