CARDIFF - Wales hammered Ireland 25-7 on Saturday to claim a first Six Nations Grand Slam since 2012, with Gareth Anscombe bagging 20 points in an unexpectedly one-sided clash at the Principality Stadium.
Welsh centre Hadleigh Parkes scored his side’s only try after barely 80 seconds had been played, collecting a deft Anscombe chip, while Ireland’s Jordan Larmour left it until the final minute to bag an opening score that would have been scant consolation. “It’s hard to put into words,” Anscombe added. “Obviously we just have a habit of winning. ..It’s a special group and we work very hard for each other.The Welsh win leaves England unable to catch up even if they beat Scotland later on Saturday, and will stoke hopes of a serious Wales tilt at this year’s Rugby World Cup, which kicks off in Japan in September.
World player of the year and fly-half Johnny Sexton became increasingly frustrated at Ireland’s error-strewn performance and some of the decisions of referee Angus Gardner.
