Dragons back row Taine Basham grabbed a late try as Wales were beaten in their Six Nations opener by a strong Ireland side in Dublin.
The dominant hosts scored only one try in the first half, through Bundee Aki. Andrew Conway's quickfire double and a magnificent Garry Ringrose effort after the break saw Ireland accelerate away from the visitors.
Wayne Pivac’s side had their moments, but were second best to Ireland, and must regroup ahead of a huge game with Scotland in Cardiff next weekend.
Basham started the game alongside regional team-mates Will Rowlands and Aaron Wainwright while Ross Moriarty and Ben Carter - a late call-up to the bench - were second half replacements.
