Scotland vs England LIVE: Six Nations rugby score and result from Calcutta Cup today

Ireland steal Welsh ball on the edge of the 22 anad Tadhg Beirne hits a gorgeous line off Conor Murray’s flat pass. He is chopped at the ankles by Liam Williams and Ireland soon transgress at the ruck.

Do Wales wish to play on? They do, kicking straight to touch and trotting over for a lineout.

Cheers around the Aviva as Mack Hansen is named the Player of the Match on debut. He’s been quieter in this second 40 minutes but the wing had an excellent first half and has offered plenty on his first Ireland start.

A movement that appears bound for Hansen’s hands peters out after Wales congest the space effectively, and double knock-ons mean a set-piece for them to feed as the clock ticks towards 80:00.

From nowhere! Something to take back across the Irish Sea for Wales as their gracious hosts engage in some gift-giving. Tadhg Beirne needlessly throws an offload from the floor 15 metres out from his own line and Taine Basham is alive to the possibility, plucking it out of the air and gratefully accepting the present beneath the posts.

Callum Sheedy converts.

This has been a really flat performance from the defending champions. They are missing great sections of the spine of their squad but we have seen so little of Wales in attack, with yet more hands on hips and frowning faces as the ball spills from slippery hands in the Ireland 22.

That is Biggar’s last act, with Callum Sheedy on for the fly-half, Biggar shaking his head as he goes. He perches on a pew for a discussion with Wyn Jones, sharing a frustrated word or two with the loosehead. Wales have been well off the pace virtually all afternoon.

The respite is exceptionally brief - Wales are pinged at the scrum as both props lose their feet under pressure, and Dan Sheehan will tap and carry.

But Cian Healy rather kindly gives the visitors another chance to get their scrum right as he fails to pick up a loose ball cleanly. This time it is better from Wales, and Dan Biggar punts clear.

Wales join the maul through the side door and are penalised. Once more for the corner Ireland will go, and Dan Sheehan hits his jumper...

He hurries to the back but is told to break away after losing his grip on the man in front of him. Sheehan fails to do so, and the accidental offside call from Jaco Peyper means it will be a Welsh scrum feed.

Ireland can’t make the most of it, Wales scrambling to be first to a kick through, and eventually clearing. Cian Healy and Ryan Baird lend their fresh legs to the Ireland pack.

Both are involved in their first movement on the pitch, and Ireland win a penalty which Joey Carbery kicks for the corner. It looks like Garry Ringrose is now stationed on the right wing with James Hume in the midfield alongside Bundee Aki.
