Ireland survive Six Nations scare before clinching Triple Crown with Wales win

Title favourites Ireland survived a major Six Nations scare as they clinched the Triple Crown by beating a transformed Wales team 27-18 in Cardiff.

While Wales ultimately fell to a 15th-successive Test match defeat, Ireland marched on in pursuit of the Grand Slam and an historic Six Nations title hat-trick.

But Wales were a revelation in their first game since Warren Gatland departed as head coach, with interim boss Matt Sherratt masterminding comfortably their best performance since the 2023 World Cup.
