Dominant Ireland power to bonus-point win in Wales

Aoife Wafer, Dorothy Wall and Linda Djougang all crossed for a pair of tries each.

Wales 14

Ireland 40

Nathan Johns reports from Rodney Parade

SIX-TRY IRELAND comfortably saw off Wales with an impressive all-round display in Newport. The result, a bonus-point victory, leaves Ireland needing just one match point against Scotland next week to finish third in the Six Nations for a second consecutive year. 

Aoife Wafer, Dorothy Wall and Linda Djougang all crossed for a pair of tries each, Ireland withstanding an early Welsh lead and a first-half yellow card for Dannah O’Brien to build a 26-point winning margin.

The 42′s award-winning team produces original content that you won’t find anywhere else: on GAA, League of Ireland, women’s sport and boxing, as well as our game-changing rugby coverage, all with an Irish eye.
