Ireland made it four from four in the Autumn Series with a 57-14 win over USA at the Aviva Stadium which saw Munster’s Andrew Conway pick up the man of the match award with a hat trick of tries.
Munster players Tadhg Beirne and John Ryan also touched down for tries with Jack Conan, Stuart McCloskey and Quinn Roux also crossing the line in the 8-try rout.
The USA did have some good periods in the game with Joe Taufete’e barrelling over from a well worked line out move but Joe Schmidt would not have been happy with Ireland’s defending in the build up.
The Americans also forged a penalty try through a driving maul which saw Iain Henderson sent to the bin for collapsing.
