Nothing to do for Italrugby, which after the defeat on their debut against Wales also succumbs to Ireland, with a score of 10-63 and nine goals conceded. Only one instead, technical, the one made by Italy, in the half hour of the first half, which temporarily brought the blues up 10-21 and with the extra man for ten minutes. But then Ireland easily regained control of the match, ramping up the scoring in the second half.
The match was dominated right from the start by the visitors, who immediately scored twice in the first twenty minutes. Azzurri in difficulty especially in the defensive phase, with too many goals conceded especially in the second half. The management of the numerical superiority at the end of the first half was also disappointing, with the Azzurri not only not taking advantage of it to recover but actually managing to concede a try, from the Irishman Stander, later voted Man of The Match.
