Last 5 Games: Italy v Ireland (2024)
- 165
Ireland comfortably beat Italy 36-0 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin last season. A dominant first-half display saw Ireland score three tries – through Jack Crowley, Dan Sheehan and Jack Conan – to lead 19-0 at the break. Irelands Dan Sheehan secured the bonus-point when he went over for his brace in the 50th minute. Man-of-the-match James Lowe then scored Ireland's fifth try just after the hour mark. The final quarter became quite disjointed with replacements coming on, but Calvin Nash did manage to add one further try to Ireland's tally in the final minutes.
