Ireland 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 straight Six Nations title on Saturday.

Ireland remain on course for a Grand Slam and a third successive title, having won their opening two matches under interim head coach Simon Easterby. A run of 14 defeats saw Wales part company with Gatland and with three games to go, they’ll be desperate to avoid a second successive Six Nations wooden spoon.

It's top vs. bottom at the Millennium Stadium as the Boys In Green look to make it a three-peat. Round 3 of the Men's Six Nations Rugby kicks off with a seemingly insurmountable task for struggling Wales as it looks to end Ireland's unbeaten start to this year's tournament.
