Italy's hundredth defeat in the Six Nations has arrived, the 35th in a row in the prestigious rugby tournament.
In the complete pit of the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland inflicted a hard lesson on the Azzurri coach Kieran Crowley, overwhelmed with a score of 57-6 in a match on the third day.
A painful knockout, with nine goals collected (five in the first half and four in the second).
Italy's six points came thanks to two set pieces in the first half, by Padovani in the 14th minute and Garbisi in the 40th minute.
The game, however, was 'distorted' by some episodes, with the Azzurri not always blameless, which contributed to further exacerbate the technical gap between the two teams.
Italy actually played with two fewer men for more than an hour and they even met 12 in the last five minutes.
The injury of Gianmarco Lucchesi (out already at 8 ', there is talk of dislocation in an elbow) and the red card of his replacement Hame Faiva (20', decided by the referee after reviewing a tackle) left the Italian scrum without hookers, at the mercy of the opponent.
And so an already very difficult challenge for him has become hopeless, despite Italy having given everything on the pitch.
At the kick-off, Ireland flipped forward, finding the first try after 4 '
on a cue from Carbery.
A crack in the blue dam, which widened with the injury of Lucchesi and the red one in Faiva.
Double outnumbered behind, each scrum became an easy opportunity for the greens, still halfway through with Gibson-Park (21 ') and Lowry (30').
Another seven minutes pass and O.Mahoney finds the offensive bonus goal.
But the strikers of the clover, not yet satisfied, freed their captain on the left corridor for 24-3.
In the second half Fusco and Pasquali entered, Italy became hyper-aggressive, earning a penalty in the first minute, but Garbisi wasted it by calibrating wide.
A few minutes of balance, then came Lowry's brace.
The subsequent goals of Baird, Lowe (with Italy now in 12) and Treadwell have sanctioned yet another thud of blue rugby.
