27-17: Ireland plays its part in the Six Nations Tournament before the decisive Scotland-France

A reborn Welsh team fell this Friday with pride in Dublin (27-17) and could not prevent Ireland from walking towards the Triple Crown and can reach the last day of the Six Nations Tournament with options to win the title.

In one of the best clashes of this edition, the visitors showed in the AVIVA Stadium that the recovery of the XV del Dragón is now a reality, despite the fact that they have not won in 15 games in this competition that they dominated in other times.

This Friday Wales almost won in the capital of Ireland with a great defense and an aggressiveness that they did not put on the field in the first two days, in which they were beaten by England and France.

The XV del Trébol, for its part, sweated blood to stay alive in the fight for the Six Nations before the decisive Scotland-France this Saturday (3:10 p.m.), where the ‘bleus’ will be crowned champions if they win with a bonus. Ireland will host Scotland in Dublin on the last day, March 14, to elucidate the Triple Crown, a title awarded to the one who beats the other three teams between the British and Irish.

As expected, Ireland He started the match leading in all phases of the game and soon his first try came through Stockdale and another later from Conan, canceled by an ‘avant’ at the last moment, in the 11th minute.

It was a chimera for the Irish, since their rivals relied on pride and caste. It seemed, at times, that the dragon team remembered their ancestors on the Dublin grass, those who dominated this sport in the seventies and nineties, and gave their best to put the team of Andy Farrell on their line of 22.

At least, the Welsh opened their scoring with a hit from Edwards: 7-3, midway through the first half.

The defenses shone brighter than the attacks. But Crowleyonce again a starter in the XV of Trébol to the detriment of Prendergastnot even called up by Andy Farrell, crossed the visiting goal line for the second time.

One of the plays of the clash was about to arrive, when the clock already marked the limit of the first half. The pillar Carrewho weighs more than 130 kilos, broke Ireland and in a race more typical of a wing than a front line, left his team within two points after Edwards’ transformation again: 12-10, at half-time.

Wales laughed and celebrated again after so many disappointments and taking “the wooden spoon” in 2024 and 2025.

Conan He put the ball in the middle at the restart in a try reviewed by the video judge and referee Dickson, which finally went up on the scoreboard.

The Welsh returned, brave, to the charge. The selector Tandy he changed half the team, his first line got mad Furlongsubstituted after a fight, and Botham put an end to a long attacking play by the visitors with the Dragons’ second mark.

The tension rose and Ireland responded immediately and, masterfully directed by Gibson-Parkled to Osborne’s try, not converted by Crowley, and the yellow for Tomos Williams in the 68th minute (24-17).

The match entered the final minutes with Wales within a try shot. Crowley, in the 77th minute, this time yes, passed a blow in the 77th minute that sealed the match and leaves the dragons without defeating Ireland since 2021. It was the end of Wales.
