Wales thrashed Ireland 25-7 to win the Six Nations Grand Slam.
Hadleigh Parkes' try inside just 70 seconds set the tone before fly-half Gareth Anscombe took over from the tee to add a further 20 points as the hosts hit the front and never looked back.
Ireland scored with the final play of the game to avoid being left scoreless but it was a day to forget for them in Cardiff.

What a tournament for Warren Gatland and Wales, and what a way to win it.
Everyone thought it was going to be tight. Everyone. But in the wind and the wet about which there was so much blather in the buildup, Wales completely controlled every minute of the 80, and emerged deserved Grand Slam champions.
Gareth Anscombe is the broadcaster's man of the match and rightly so. 20 points, perfect from the tee and brilliant with the boot in open play. Alun Wyn Jones was, of course, immense, and Dan Biggar adapted magnificently to the conditions after his early introduction.
