Debutants Hugo Keenan and Will Connors were among the try scorers as Ireland went top of the Six Nations table courtesy of a comfortable 50-17 win over Italy this morning.

Having easily secured the maximum five points, Ireland will travel to Paris knowing a bonus-point win against France will ensure they become Six Nations champions.

Italy now must gear up for the daunting prospect of England, but are now guaranteed to finish bottom of the table for the fifth year in a row.
