Ireland retain their Grand Slam hopes
Ireland kept their quest for successive grand slams on track by brushing aside a spirited Wales with a 31-7 win in Dublin.
The hosts scored four tries to Wales' one in a one-sided contest at the Aviva Stadium.
James Lowe, Hugo Keenan, Ryan Baird and Garry Ringrose all touched down for Ireland, with Johnny Sexton adding 11 points with the boot.
Wales' only try came from debutant Rio Dyer, while Leigh Halfpenny added the conversion.
Ireland's victory means they remain top of the Six Nations table with two wins from two, while Wales are bottom without a point.
Conclusion
This was a comprehensive victory for Ireland, who were far too strong for Wales. The hosts were clinical in attack and solid in defence, and they will be confident of completing the Grand Slam when they face Scotland in their next match.
