Wafer and Hogan to the Fore as Ireland Wear Down Wales

Aoife Wafer and Brittany Hogan scored two tries each as Ireland wore down Wales and moved closer to a top-three finish.

  • Beibhinn Parsons added another try to secure the victory. Cliodhna Moloney-MacDonald received a yellow card for a kick, but Ireland's ruthless edge ultimately determined the 33-12 result.
