First step in a long journey

Welcome to Test rugby Eli Walker!

Andrew Trimble showed Irish fans just what they have been missing for the past year as he thundered into Wales at the Millennium Stadium.

Ireland rattled Welsh cages from the get-go and led 25-7 at half-time.

One of the best tries came courtesy of Keith Earls, but much of the credit must go to Andrew Trimble for this crunching hit on Eli Walker.

Trimble on Walker

The ball spilled free and Earls, on the prowl, did the rest.

Earls try (2)

Unfortunately for Trimble, he limped off after 35 minutes, moments after he was denied a try of his own in the corner.
