Historic rout for Ireland

IRELAND ran in a record-breaking 16 tries in a rout of Portugal in Lisbon to register their biggest Test win in the first encounter between the two nations.

Connacht pair Hugh Gavin and Shayne Bolton went over twice on their debuts and there was also a brace each for club teammate and flanker Cian Prendergast and Leinster wing Tommy O'Brien.

With fly-half Jack Crowley landing 12 of his 15 conversion attempts - Ireland were also awarded a penalty try - the margin of victory eclipsed them scoring 13 tries in an 83-3 defeat of the USA in 2000.
