• Ireland will pursue triple crown against England
Storm Ciara arrived early in the Irish capital. Ireland battered Wales with a sustained ferocity and while most teams would have been blown away, the champions clung to the wreckage of their afternoon so tightly that it was only five minutes from the end that they conceded the bonus point the home side’s dominance had merited.
Ireland were unrecognisable from the week before when they had laboured against Scotland. They tore into Wales from the kick-off, regularly achieving width against a narrow defence, and targeted the Wales centre Nick Tompkins, who was making his first Test start after coming off the bench against Italy the week before.
