George North scores twice as Wales dent Ireland's Six Nations hopes

Wales made a serious dent to Ireland's Six Nations title chances after George North scored twice in an exhausting 22-9 win at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

Match Commentary

81'+2		22-9 End of second half
80'		A huge defensive effort from Wales, Ireland were in it until Roberts scored. Over to you Scotland. — Martyn Thomas (@MCThomasSport) March 10, 2017
80'		Tommy Bowe lasted mere minutes and he goes off injured. Ireland steal the scrum. Ireland inch towards the Welsh 22. Paddy Jackson takes it up to the 22. Sean O'Brien put to ground. The ball goes forward from Wales and Wales run the ball. George North runs from his own 22 up to the Irish 22. Davies goes down the left touchline. Sam Davies knocks on. No bonus point for Wales but they do end Ireland's Six Nations hopes.
