Ireland go into the Rugby World Cup as the number one ranked team in the world after beating Wales.
Joe Schmidt's men defeated the Welsh for the second time in a week, running out 19-10 winners at the Aviva Stadium.
Here's out PA rated the players of both teams:
Ireland:
Rob Kearney: Took his try in style in a typically effortlessly-cool performance. 8/10
Jordan Larmour: Still fighting for top form but always dangerous on the ball. 7
Robbie Henshaw: Surely he and Aki have nailed themselves on as the starting centre pairing. 8
Bundee Aki: Always a hugely physical presence, reassuring and aggressive in equal measure. 8
Keith Earls: Looked sharp as always until injury cut his afternoon short. 7
Johnny Sexton: Back to his best to boss the show and give Ireland's World Cup bid a big shot in the arm. 8
Conor Murray: Also inching back to his top form, and just at the right time. 8
Cian Healy: Bullish showing from Ireland's premier prop star. 8
Rory Best: Led from the front all day long on his 120th cap and final appearance in Dublin. 8
Tadhg Furlong: Took his try well and all other parts of his game clicked too. 8
James Ryan: Right up there with the best showings on the field. 9
Jean Kleyn: Showed just why Joe Schmidt has such big faith in him, vital to Ireland's continuity game. 8
CJ Stander: Back in form running over the top of opponents. 8
Josh Van Der Flier: Gritty showing at the perfect time to reassert his importance. 8
Jack Conan: Showed some classy touches and put in a big shift too. 8
Replacements:
Ireland used their bench smartly to ensure front-line stars avoided injury at the worst possible moment. 8
Wales:
Leigh Halfpenny: Kicked a penalty and conversion before making way for Liam Williams 15 minutes from time. 6/10
George North: A busy performance by the Ospreys wing who repeatedly looked for work and consistently threatened Ireland's defence. 8
Jonathan Davies: Marshalled Wales' defence well, but had few chances in attack. 7
Hadleigh Parkes: Scored a second try for Wales against Ireland this year, and once again went about his work impressively. 7
Josh Adams: Tried to get involved, but it was not his afternoon as Ireland dominated the second-half. 6
Rhys Patchell: Lasted just 22 minutes on his first Wales start for 15 months before suffering concussion. A major worry ahead of Wales' World Cup departure next Wednesday. 6
Tomos Williams: A livewire display by the Wales scrum-half, but had his work cut out in direct opposition to Conor Murray. 6
Wyn Jones: A rare Test start for the Scarlets prop, but he acquitted himself solidly. 6
Elliot Dee: Helped ensure that Wales were not bossed at the set-pieces, and he relished the close-quarter combat. 7
Tomas Francis: A solid effort by the Wales tighthead, although the second 40 minutes were testing. 6
Jake Ball: A hard-working shift from the Scarlets lock, who is always a high-energy contributor. 7
Alun Wyn Jones: The Wales captain could not help his team overcome Ireland's second-half domination, but it is now all systems go for Japan. 6
Aaron Wainwright: One of Wales' real discoveries of the last 18 months. Continues to impress. 7
Justin Tipuric: Got involved in the action, as he always does, but it was Ireland's day up-front. 6
Ross Moriarty: A quiet afternoon for the Wales number eight as the Irish pack took charge. 6
Replacements:
Dan Biggar was an early fly-half replacement for Rhys Patchell, who went off due to concussion, but the Wales replacements could not make a major impact. 6
