Ireland Hold Off Plucky Wales to Keep Triple Crown Alive
Ireland earned a bonus-point victory to maintain Triple Crown hopes and set up a decisive match against Scotland, overcoming a resilient Welsh side 27-17 at home.
- On March 6, 2026, Ireland national rugby team beat Wales 27-17 at the match in Dublin, keeping their slim Six Nations hopes alive. Andy Farrell’s side set up a decider with Scotland next week.
- Facing the table, Ireland national rugby team needed a bonus-point win to preserve a faint title challenge, while Wales national rugby team fought to avoid a third successive wooden spoon and remain winless since 2023.
- A late penalty from Jack Crowley sealed Ireland's 27-17 win after Jack Conan's try was disallowed and Jamie Osborne finished the move.
- As a consequence, Ireland's title chase stays alive in the short term while France can clinch the Six Nations by beating Scotland with a bonus point at Murrayfield on Saturday; Wales national rugby team remain without a championship win.
- Ireland must address penalty and scrum issues after conceding nine penalties, while controversial TMO decisions involving Rónan Kelleher will fuel debate; Wales flanker Alex Mann produced a record 32 tackles.
