They played well for large sections of the game, but didn't convert it into points.
Had that penalty been awarded at tha start of the second half (when Czekaj was bought down) then maybe that would have sparked something.
It was a close match, Ireland took their chances, and on top of that we gifted them a try right at the start.
Wales will improve, they have both their first choice wingers and at least 1 first choice centre out injured.
Ireland are favourites for the title, but will have to play better to challenge an improving England and France.
