Ireland back row Aoife Wafer, speaking to BBC Sport Wales: "It's huge. We can take a lot out of that but we can also build on it.

"We gave Wales some really easy ins at the breakdown and put that put us defending when we wanted to attack. So there's a lot to build on.

"We speak about being the most connected team in the world. I think that shows on the pitch, but it's not only the 15 out there or 23, we've girls at home who are injured and we'd love them to take to the pitch with us. We play for them as well.

"We can take a lot from it. Winning away is tough, so to do it in Parma and Wales, the crowd were brilliant, so to quieten them down and put on our own game is something we can take from it. "

Italy away next week is going to be a very tough fixture for Wales.

Italy play on ion and will not want to lose at home.

They gave an outstanding performance to beat Scotland away and will be targeting Wales after looking at this game.

They have key players in key positions. Without any disrespect, we used to target Italy as the game we would win but that's just not the case anymore. It's going to be really tough.

I think we started off strong but we didn't carry it on for the rest of the game. It's hard to win a game with 10 plus penalties against us.

This is not how we wanted things to go but we've only just got a new coach, he's changing the way we're going to play and that's going to take time.

The Ireland number eight is such an exciting prospect for the game.

She leads the entire Six Nations for metres carried and showed her class again today with some crazy stats.

She made another 24 carries for 173 mteres.

For context, that's more than the entire Welsh pack combined.

Oh... and she scored two tries as well. Not a bad day's work.

That try at the end of the first half, when Ireland were a player down, was the moment they asserted their authority onto the game.

It was and it's all over here in Newport.

A comfortable win for Ireland.

Lisa Neuman kicks down the touchline but the bounce beats everyone and the ball goes into touch.

Was that Wales' last chance.

It's the 79th minute and we've finally seen a Welsh driving lineout roll forward.

Unfortunately it's inside their own half... and a little late!

Abbie Fleming gets a vital turnover just yards from her own try-line.

Well played the Wales lock.

Ireland have left two or three scores out there but still made it count, and shot Wales down when it's mattered.

Ireland have carried for 1,019 metres today... that more than a km!

That's remarkable.

Wales are trying the run the ball from behind their own try-line.

Not sure if it's bravery or madness.

Oh dear. Ireland full-back Stacey Flood had rugby's equivalent of an open goal and she's just fumbled the ball a metre from the line.

Ireland's record tally against Wales is 45 points in 2021.

That record looks under threat today.

Wing Carys Cox has been one of the few bright notes for Wales.

She's really looked threatening whenever she's had the ball.

The pressure is constant from Ireland and Wales don't really have an answer for it.
