In the most bizarre circumstances, Ireland made it business as usual as they ran seven tries past Italy at an empty Aviva Stadium.

The game, which had originally been scheduled for 7 Match but delayed due to the coronavirus outbreak, served as a welcome return for international rugby and an appetiser for next Saturday's Guinness Six Nations championship clash against France in Paris.

With England heavy favourites to pick up five match points against the Italians next weekend, a bonus-point win for either side in Stade de France will be enough to claim the title but Ireland will know that Les Bleus at home presents a completely different challenge that what Franco Smith's side could muster today.

This game was won thanks to tries from CJ Stander, debutants Hugo Keenan (2) and Will Connors, who was named man of the match, Johnny Sexton, Bundee Aki and Dave Heffernan.

It was a serious rap on the jaw, he is a big loss, but it's great to see new talent coming onto the scene,
Massive test in Paris

Going to be a big ask to get a bonus point in Paris, but, good luck to all the lads, Henshaw and Aki reunited

Ya, I think the boat has sailed
A win will be a struggle let alone a bonus point

Welsh rugby player JJ Williams has died at the age of 72 , one of the all time greats of the game
Great Welshman and lion

Have to agree
A win in France is a rarity
A bonus point win?
Mind you it is a blue moon
So you never know
