they scored five tries in an impressive win over Wales at the Millennium
Stadium.
Captain Jamie Heaslip scored the opener as he became
Ireland's most capped back-row forward.

crossed with Wales replying through Richard Hibbard, Justin Tipuric and Alex
Cuthbert
With Tommy O Donnell and Andrew Trimble having a few
injuries this was not an ideal winning start for Ireland
