Ireland have continued their good start to the Six Nations rugby championship with a flattering 38-9 win over Italy in Rome.
Tries either side of halftime by winger Luke Fitzgerald and flanker David Wallace turned the match in the visitors favour after a close first period.
Tommy Bowe went over the line too, while Fitzgerald scored a second try and captain Brian O'Driscoll touched down in a late flurry that gave a unfair look to the scoreline with flyhalf Ronan O'Gara also kicking 11 points.
Ireland join Wales at the top of the standings with two wins from two games after last week's 30-21 victory over France in Dublin.
Yesterday Wales beat England and France beat Scotland.
