DUBLIN — Ireland has a sniff of its first Six Nations rugby title in five years after humbling defending champion Wales 26-3 at Lansdowne Road Saturday. Ireland scored the game's only two tries from superb rolling mauls while Jonathan Sexton kicked four penalties and missed one attempt from beyond halfway. By contrast, Wales didn't fire a shot in the first half, and came close to a try once in the second, while Ireland's better discipline gave Leigh Halfpenny only one penalty kick, nearly an hour in. Wales suffered a first away loss in the championship since 2011, when it also last failed to score a try. — AP
