Last 5 Games: Italy v Ireland (2022)
- 204
After scoring 6 tries in 2021, Ireland added three more tries to the previous seasons tally, and scored ran in 9 tries as they hammered Italy 57-6 at the Aviva Stadium. The visitors were reduced to 13 men after replacement hooker Hame Faiva was sent off for a dangerous tackle, and they had to remove another player for forcing uncontested scrums. Ireland capitalised on Italy's loss and went on to secure a bonus-point victory, with debutant Michael Lowry scoring two of their nine tries. See how the match played out below:
