Three down, two more to go.

Andrew Porter, Terry Kennedy, Johnny McPhillips and Hugo Keenan got the tries for Ireland during the 35-7 win after Vasil Lobzhanidze's opener.

Second row Sean O'Conner was awarded the Man of the Match award for stepping up the plate in the absence of James Ryan, who was ruled out of the game after picking up a hip injury against the All Blacks.
