Ireland ended Wales' 11-match winning streak at home with a 22-17 victory in Cardiff, banishing memories of their hammering at Twickenham last weekend.
The Irish were under pressure to deliver a big performance following the 57-15 record defeat against England, although both Joe Schmidt and Warren Gatland named heavily-changed teams ahead of their final Rugby World Cup squad announcements in the coming days.
Ireland took an early lead through a Jack Carty penalty in the ninth minute, only for opposite fly-half Jarrod Evans to respond and level the scores seven minutes later.
However, a 10-minute double from wing Jacob Stockdale gave the visitors breathing space, with Carty converting the first to give Schmidt's side a 15-3 advantage heading into the break.
Wales's scrum came under huge pressure shortly after the restart, costing them a penalty try as referee Romain Poite ran under the posts to put Ireland 22-3 to the good, but Wales soon spurred into life.
Tries from wing Owen Lane and replacement fly-half Rhys Patchell - both converted by the latter - cut the lead to just five points, but Ireland held on to get back to winning ways.
