CARDIFF, Wales — Ireland has condemned Wales to a record-extending 15th straight rugby loss after overcoming a 20-minute red card to rally for a 27-18 win and stay on course for an unprecedented third Six Nations title in a row. One of the tournament's great matches swung on a yellow card to Ireland center Garry Ringrose for delivering a head-on-head tackle. It was later upgraded to a red card. That meant the Irish had to play with 14 men for 20 minutes either side of halftime, during which time Wales scored 15 points to take an 18-13 lead. Ireland was restored to a full complement of players in the 52nd minute and didn't concede a point after that.
