But Ireland came out strongly and a try from Dylan Tierney-Martin, again converted by Healy had them in front for the first time at 14-10.

The Welsh hit back and a converted try nudged them ahead once again.

But replacement scrumhalf Colm Reilly scored a great individual try to give his side a two-point lead with seven minutes to go.

Thomas Clarkson’s converted try with the last play of the game ended all the nerves - and Ireland celebrated a first Grand Slam since 2007.
