  3. Butchers 'ecstatic' with Wales victorypublished at 18:48 GMT 26 March 2022

    FT: Ireland 19-27 Wales

    Wales' player of the match Alisha Butchers told BBC Two: "It's something we've been working on for a long time, the second-half performances.

    "We felt it was something that was letting us down so we wanted to come out and prove that all our hard work over the last four month has paid off.

    "We did feel a little bit more pressure coming into this campaign now that we're professional, but rightly so.

    "I'm lucky enough to have a contract and I can give my all to this sport.

    "The growth in the last 12 months has been incredible. Playing here in Dublin against a tough Ireland team, in front of their home crowd, we've really done ourselves proud."

    Wales captain Siwan Lillicrap was in tears at the end of this match last year.

    I imagine they will tears of joy this time around.

    What a second half performance from Wales.

    They didn't panic when they went behind with the replacements making a real impact.

    Ireland can certainly be encouraged by that display.

    They look devastating in attack, but they'll need to work on their discipline.
