For a moment, Ireland threatened to run off into the night.<\/b><\/p>\n

After Jacob Stockdale ended his five-year wait for an international try, Ireland celebrated a second try against Wales just 10 minutes into Friday’s Six Nations game<\/a> when Jack Conan crashed over. <\/p>\n

But the home support’s excitement at the possibility of a thumping turned to frustration when the try was ruled out for Tom O’Toole’s knock on.<\/p>\n

It set up a nervy night for Ireland when their post-England euphoria was quickly forgotten as they set about keeping a stubborn and spirited Wales side quiet. <\/p>\n

In their record away win over England, Ireland ruthlessly built up a 22-0 lead before the hosts replied. <\/p>\n

On Friday, though, a hard-hitting Welsh defence stopped the hosts from building an insurmountable advantage. <\/p>\n

And when asked for his observations, Ireland head coach Andy Farrell was quick to both praise Wales after they provided his side a more uncomfortable examination than England last time out. <\/p>\n

“I actually thought Wales did fantastically well to stay in the game,” he said. <\/p>\n

“Like Caelan [Doris, Ireland captain] said, if it goes to 14 points, it’s a different game you’re looking at, but they played tough, they hung on in there and kept it close on the scoreboard. I thought they were tremendous tonight.<\/p>\n

“It was a proper Test match and for us to come away with a bonus-point win, we’d certainly take that with how the game unfolded, because it was a different game to the game that we played last time round.<\/p>\n

“In regards to, we weren’t playing rugby on the front foot because of how well they defended, I thought they were excellent in contact and set-piece.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
