IRELAND SURVIVED A nervy, chaotic battle in Cardiff as they came from behind to beat Wales and secure the Triple Crown.

In their first game under interim head coach Matt Sherratt, a much-improved Wales led 13-10 at half time.

But a second-half try from Jamie Osborne on his Six Nations debut, along with four penalties from the boot of Sam Prendergast, kept Ireland’s Championship defence and Grand Slam dream alive.

After that close call, we’re here to quiz you: how much do you know about Wales?
