Ireland have won seven of their last eight Tests against Wales, including the last three in a row by margins of more than 20 points. Their 34-10 win in 2023 ended a run of four Six Nations defeats in Cardiff. Simon Easterby's side can win consecutive Six Nations matches in Wales for the first time in 16 years.

Ireland has condemned Wales to a record-extending 15th straight rugby loss after overcoming a 20-minute red card to rally for a 27-18 win and stay on course for an unprecedented third Six Nations title in a row.

Wales slipped to a 15th straight defeat in a 27-18 home loss to Six Nations champions Ireland on Saturday, but the hosts played with endeavour and ambition not seen in recent games.
