		Well this is quite a welcome pic.twitter.com/9wvsSX3BcL — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015 Eyes on Tipuric, Hook, Phillips, Hibbard today from Wales. O'Donnell needs a big game for Ireland #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015 Wales about to walk out in their brand-spanking new kit. Smart money on it being red #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015 At the Millennium Stadium for #WALvIRE - here are the teams pic.twitter.com/C19g82fXrl — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
1		Wales' new kit is very Euro 2008 Spain #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
7		Energetic start from both sides. But for the odd bounce here and there either team could have scored #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
8	0 - 5	Try number one! Jamie Heaslip strolls over for Ireland #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
15		Jackson steering the game well from No.10 for Ireland. Heaslip making yards every time he gets the ball #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
18	0 - 8	Jackson - penalty goal
21		Ireland dominant in the set piece so far. Edge in the scrum and their runners are loving it #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
22	0 - 15	Try No.2 and Ireland deserve it. Darren Cave dives over off first phase ball from the scrum #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
28		Wales struggling so far. Earls everywhere for Ireland while Reddan is playing at some tempo #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
29	0 - 20	Eli Walker is vaporised by Andrew Trimble and Keith Earls runs it in - Irish dominance #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
30	0 - 22	Jackson - conversion
33	0 - 25	Jackson - penalty goal
34		Scott Williams and Eli Walker put in try-saving tackles to prevent Ireland from stretching their lead #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
36	5 - 25	Great set piece try from Wales. Hibbard lineout -> Evans - > Tipuric on the loop and Hibbard goes over #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
37	7 - 25	Hook - conversion
40		Eli Walker has the chance to cut the deficit but he fails to dot the ball down after a foot race #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
40		We are off in the second-half - hosts have it all to do. It is sweltering in the Millennium Stadium #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
45		Moriarty yellow carded for a swinging arm on a falling Zebo #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
47	7 - 30	Simon Zebo scores in the corner for Ireland - Wales 7-30 Ireland #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
49		Donnacha Ryan replaced by Tuohy. He's played well on his return #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
53	7 - 35	Another try for Ireland- Felix Jones scores. #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
67		Pace has gone out of the game, inevitable with all the subs made. Wales will hope for a consolation try #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
70	12 - 35	Justin Tipuric - Wales' best player on the day - gets a deserved try for all his efforts #WALvIRE http://t.co/tIR4o1z9Tu — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
71	14 - 35	Anscombe - conversion
73		Tommy O'Donnell stretchered off, looks devastated. World Cup warm-ups are cruel for Munster No.7s #WALvIRE — Tom Hamilton (@tomESPNscrum) August 8, 2015
80	19 - 35	Cuthbert - try
80+2	21 - 35	Anscombe - conversion
