Ireland U-20s 39-0 Italy U-20s

Darren Hudson was the hat-trick hero as the Ireland Under-20s earned a runaway win over Italy in Athlone.

The St Mary's College winger picked up a loose ball to score the opener in the left corner after 19 minutes, and centre Nevin Spence also touched down for a 13-0 half-time lead.

Winger Simon Zebo added a third try, early in the second half, and further efforts from Hudson and the powerful Brendan Macken saw the visitors put to the sword.
