All the highlights from Ireland's pulsating five-try win over Wales

Have another watch. It’s worth it.

IRELAND’S GRAND SLAM hopes remain intact, but it went down to the wire again as Jacob Stockdale’s intercept try sealed a huge 37-27 victory for Joe Schmidt’s side over Wales.

Stockdale’s double — taking his tally to eight in seven Tests — bookended a five-try display from the hosts which also garnered a bonus point as they sneaked their noses over the line against a Welsh side that refused to lie down and at one point had led 13-5.

Ireland, who maintained their Six Nations home record under Schmidt in never having lost since he took over after the 2013 edition, will host Scotland in a fortnight and hope to go on from there for a mouth-watering potential Grand Slam decider with England on St Patrick’s Day.

Here are all the highlights from this afternoon’s pulsating clash in Dublin.
