Wing Jacob Stockdale felt Ireland took their physicality to a new level in their 24-14 bonus-point win over Wales in the Guinness Six Nations.

Tries by Jordan Larmour, Tadhg Furlong, Josh Van Der Flier and Andrew Conway saw Ireland home at the Aviva Stadium as they moved impressively towards a Twickenham appointment with England on February 22.

Andy Farrell’s team also remain on course for a Grand Slam, but reigning champions Wales’ hopes of a clean sweep are over after a deserved home win.

Stockdale told ITV: “It’s going to take a few weeks to get into the new structure of things, especially the new coaching ticket and new ideas, but I thought we did it really well today.

“I think our physicality was brought to the next level and in all fairness to Wales, they came and they pushed us hard so it was just great to get the win.

“They came and they fired a few shots early on and we know how good we can be when we’re all over our carrying and our break down and it just had to come throughout the game.

“Once were started to do that the tries came and it was a really fun game to play in.”

Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones, whose side scored converted tries through Tomos Williams and Justin Tipuric, admitted it was tough to take positives from a game which ended in defeat.

“Ultimately Test rugby is about winning isn’t it?” Wyn Jones told ITV. “You can have all the enterprise and all the beauty you like but ultimately it’s about the result.

“I think we probably gave them an opportunity in the first half, a couple of errors in particular, a couple of rucks potentially at crucial times.

“There were a series of penalties we felt we should have got more from but we didn’t.”

How key Waratahs playmakers could reshape Joe Schmidt's Wallabies backline

There's no way a betrayal hurts more than that from one who you considered your brother. Me and my best friend had been inseparable for years-we traveled together, confided in each other, and even talked about going into crypto as a team. I thought we had that kind of bond that could stand anything. I was wrong. It wasn't until the crypto investments actually started to grow that all wasn't well. It happened subtly at first: offhand comments about how "lucky" I was, how it was easy, how she was the one supposed to make the profits. At first, I laughed it off, thinking perhaps she was just frustrated with the financial struggles herself. What I didn't catch was the slow build-up of resentment. Then, one night, my whole world was turned upside down. I opened up my wallet app, ready to check on my holdings, when I saw something that almost made me sick-$370,000 was gone. Vanished without a trace. My fingers shook as I scrolled down the transaction history. Someone had accessed my money. Someone who knew exactly how to get in. Panic turned to horror as the realization hit me. There was only one person who had ever seen my seed phrase. My best friend. The next day, I confronted her, still holding on to the ridiculous hope that somehow it was all some misunderstanding. But she didn't deny it. She didn't even look guilty. Instead, she snapped, saying that she "deserved" it just as much as I did, that I had "too much" while she struggled, and that I was being selfish by not sharing more of my success. I stood there, speechless, as years of friendship crumbled in an instant. I wasn't just betrayed; I was blindsided by the entitlement of it all. Heartbroken but determined, I immediately began finding ways to recover my stolen funds. That is when I found ADRIAN LAMO HACKER. I read through so many testimonials from people actually going through similar situations as mine and, for the first time in days, I felt a glimmer of hope. I reached out ADRIAN LAMO HACKER Via WhatsApp: ‪+1 (909) 739‑0269/ Telegram: @ADRIANLAMOHACKERTECH ‬, and before I knew it, their team got down to work: following the money, making sense of all the transactions, decoding my so-called friend's attempt to cover her tracks. Days later, I received that call-it changed everything. My money was back. It was like relief overflowing, yet accompanied by such painful realization that, yes, I got my money back but lost a person in whom once my life was entrusted. Not all friendships are built to stand the test of time and success; not everyone's cheering for you until you win.
