Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I tutakina te tatau o te Grand Slam ki te mata o Ireland i te Millennium Stadium i te mea i tiakina e Wales a raatau papa penei i te 15 o nga kaitiaki o Cardiff ki te whakarite i te wikitoria rongonui o te RBS 6 Nations. I te wa i neke atu ai te tatauranga o nga tukinga a Welsh i te tohu 250, kua marama kua tutaki a Ireland ki a raatau whakataetae. Kua puta ngā pātai e pā ana ki te uara whakangahau o te whutupaoro o te raki, engari, mehemea i hiahiatia he pānuitanga, koinei. I whiua e Shaun Edwards te hau i runga i te harikoa, ā, ka ora tonu te whakataetae toa. I patua e Wales te wikitoria 10 o Ireland, ā, i tāna whakaahua i a ia anō hei "kōrero kiwi noa iho" i te huihuinga pānuitanga whai muri i te tukinga, i whakamātauria e Warren Gatland, he kaitātai whakaaro nui ake ia i te ipu o Flora. I eke a Scott Williams i muri i te meneti 62 ki te piro i te whakamātautau anake a Wales o te kēmu kia ora tonu ai o ratou tumanakohanga o nga Whenua e Ono. Ka whakataka a Williams i te rārangi i mua i a Tommy Bowe i mua i te whakatakoto i a Wales ki te ārahi i te haurua tuarua. Ka haere atu a Williams i te wā e titiro atu ana ngā kaitākaro o Ireland ki te pouri i a rātau e kite ana i tō rātau kaha i runga i te tihi o ngā Whenua e Ono kua ngoikore i te hinganga i Wales. Ka mau a Bowe i tōna ringa ki tōna mata i muri i te whakamātau a Williams i a Wales e pupuri ana i te tūmanako o Ireland ki te wikitōria i te Grand Slam. Wales XV: Halfpenny, Te Tai Tokerau, Davies, Roberts, Williams, Biggar, Webb; Jenkins, Baldwin, Lee, Charteris, Wyn Jones, Lydiate, Warburton (kapene), Faletau. Ka whakamatau: Williams.

"He maha o ā mātou kaitākaro i rere ki te whenua", i kī a Gatland. <unk> I te taha o te hau me te kaha, he mea katoa hei whakataetae Whakamatau. I ētahi wā ka mamae koe i tētahi ngaronga, ā, ko ngā rā e toru, e whā rānei e whai ake nei, he uaua ki te whakatika i te moenga; i tino nui te māharahara o mātou.<unk> I puta mai taua whakaaro i roto i te tākaro patunga o te whutupaoro...
I ārahi a Wales i te tīmatanga o te whakataetae i te wā i whiua ai e Leigh Halfpenny ngā tohu tuatahi o te whakataetae mai i tētahi whiu. I eke atu a Halfpenny ki ētahi atu whiu e toru mō te kapa kāinga i a Wales e ārahi ana i te 12-0 i te Millennium Stadium. I whakahokia e Johnny Sexton te whiringa ki te 12-6 me ngā whiu e rua i mua i te whiu a Dan Biggar i tētahi whāinga pōti kia 15-6 ai te whiringa. I tāpirihia e Sexton ētahi atu tohu e toru me tētahi whiu i te wā i haere ai ngā kapa ki te haurua me te kore whakamātau i runga i te papa. I akiaki a Ireland ki te whakamatau i te timatanga o te haurua tuarua engari i mau tonu te tiaki a Wales i a ratou e whakatata atu ana ki te raina whakamatau. I ārahi a Scott Williams i a Wales mā te whakamātautau tuatahi i te meneti 62 ki te 20-9. I whakawhiwhia a Ireland ki tētahi whakamātautau whiu i te 10 meneti noa iho ki te tākaro i hurihia hei 20-16. I eke a Halfpenny ki te 23-16 i te rima meneti ki te tākaro i muri i tana whiu whiu tuarima o te tukinga.
