So the Six Nations defeat back in April is avenged and Ireland begin their World Cup preparations with a win.

That will please Scott Bemand who saw his side go 14-0 down in the first half and then 21-17 down midway through the second.

However, they continued to fight and ended up outscoring their visitors by five tries to three. Only one successful conversion meant it was closer than it should have been but that can be worked on.
