    Aoife Dalton is named player of the match and it's a deserved accolade for the centre.

    The half started with an Aoife Dalton try and ended with her turning over Italy on her own line.

    The centre put the finishing touches on things but that was a huge defensive stand from the Irish team to deny Italy momentum going into the second half.
