Ireland made to work for 27-17 win by improved Wales
Ireland's 27-17 bonus-point win keeps Six Nations hopes alive and sets a decisive Triple Crown match with Scotland, with Jamie Osborne scoring the crucial try.
- On March 6, 2026, Ireland national rugby team beat Wales national rugby team 27-17 at Aviva Stadium, Dublin, securing a bonus-point win that set up a Triple Crown decider with Scotland next week.
- Wales' improved showing kept the contest tight at Aviva Stadium, despite Jacob Stockdale scoring his first Ireland try since 2021 and Ireland looking a shadow of their England match display.
- Tries by Jacob Stockdale, Jack Crowley, Jack Conan and Jamie Osborne secured Ireland's bonus-point win, while Wales replied through Rhys Carre and James Botham as Tomos Williams was sin-binned late.
- Ireland move one point behind France, with an extra game played, relying on a final-day win over Scotland and a slip-up by the unbeaten holders, while Wales faces a 15-game losing streak before hosting Italy.
- Discipline issues persisted as Ireland conceded eight penalties and suffered scrum problems, while Jack Crowley missed two conversions and Tadhg Beirne's late turnover sealed the win.
