Gavin Henson, who came off the bench for injured Welsh fly half Stephen Jones (dead leg), tries to halt the progress of Ireland centre Gordon D’Arcy.

Ireland fly half Ronan O’Gara, whose 16 points with the boot boosted his record points tally to 579, tackles Wales centre Matthew Watkins.

Ireland scrum half Peter Stringer is congratultated by Johnny O’Connor, Brian O’Driscoll and Simon Best after scoring the third try in injury-time. It was Stringer’s 6th Test try and first since he scored against Italy in the 6 Nations, twelve months ago.

Peter Stringer grounds the ball for his injury-time try under pressure from Welsh trio Matthew Watkins, Gavin Henson and Michael Owen.

Brian O’Driscoll and Gavin Henson exchange pleasantries, amongst others, after Ireland’s second win of the 2006 championship.
