Your support makes all the difference.Ireland and Wales couldn't be seperated earlier today as they drew 16-16 in the final Six Nations game of the weekend.
Connor Murray scored Ireland's first try of the tournament, neatly dummying before diving over the line from close range. However, Wales went onto score 16 unanswered points through a try from Toby Faletau and the boot of Rhys Priestland.
Wales took the lead late on in the game as Priestland put them three points ahead in the 70th minute, but Jonny Sexton levelled the scores with just a few minutes remaining to rule out a grand slam for either of the two tournament favourites.
