Ireland came through impressively over Wales in Cardiff today. Schmidt will be pleased at how easily Ireland managed to swat the Welsh aside, playing with precision. Ireland won the game by 35 points to 21.
With the game not on Irish TV, here are all of the Irish tries.
Jamie Heaslip got things off and running after Earls and Reddan went close. It was a bit too easy after Tommy O'Donnell made the telling tackle and turnover
Darren Cave deserved this try after an excellent performance, but it was too easy for Ireland with a nice try off first phase

Earls was given man of the match, but he couldn't have had it any easier than this 60 metre run in. Trimble's tackle earned the try.
In case you hadn't noticed, all of these tries seem a bit too easy. It's pleasing that Ireland are now capitalising on these chances. Zebo just needed to fall over here.
Zebo then turned provider, and it was his beautiful pass after a nice bust from Cave, McFadden and Madigan that gave the try to Jones.
The best try of the game was scored by Wales, and it was their second try from Justin Tipuric that stood out after some great interplay.
