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 weather a gathering storm as a determined Wales grew into the game in Cardiff Lowe recognises the flight and gets to where it is coming down, flexes his ankles and knees for the jump (one), gets his upper body and shoulder ready to catch (two) and at the last minute shoots his hands at high as he can into the air (three),

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.
