Prendergast kicks Ireland to triple crown success against spirited Wales

Wales 18-27 Ireland
Visitors fight back to overturn eight-point deficit

The triple crown belongs to Ireland. The champions’ grand slam attempt remains alive, and Simon Easterby’s supremely well-drilled team are on course to claim a historic third successive Six Nations title.

They had a serious scare under the roof in Cardiff, though, thanks to a sensational performance by Wales under their interim head coach Matt Sherratt. Since being hurriedly appointed last week, the Cardiff head coach had only four training sessions to implement his ideas, and has made a remarkably positive impact.
