Ireland keep Six Nations title hopes alive with hard-fought win over WalesBy Edward Elliot, Press Association, DublinIreland kept alive their slim hopes of reclaiming the Guinness Six Nations title by battling to a 27-17 bonus-point victory against winless Wales at the Aviva in Dublin. Although Ireland remain in contention for championship glory, table-topping France will retain the title with a round to spare by beating Scotland with a bonus point at Murrayfield on Saturday. Jack Crowley touches down for Wales’ second try (Damien Eagers/PA). Wales grew into the game and were unfortunate not to edge ahead when Carre was held up over the line by McCloskey. Ireland back-rower Conan made up for his earlier frustration by burrowing over four minutes into the second half.
