Highlights: Ireland v Italy
- 2259
Soldier Field seems to be a happy hunting ground for these Ireland team as they thumped Italy in an emphatic 54-7 victory. It was a scrappy first half where tries from Luke McGrath and Tadgh Beirne were negated by Campanaro to give Ireland a 14-7 lead at the interval. Ireland burst into live in the second half where they really upped the tempo and tries from Beirne (his second), a Jordan Larmour hatrick and a neat Gary Ringrose finish led to a resounding Irish victory.
