KIDNEY GETS TENURE OFF WITH A WIN

Ireland have marked Declan Kidneys first match in charge with a comfortable win over a young Canadian team.

The canadians were simply outmuscled from the first whistle and when Keith Earls scored a try in the third minute of play the day was always going to be long for the visitors.

The Irish played some very good football in parts and will take some real positives into their match with The All Blacks next week.

The Irish scored 8 tries in the match with the back 3 getting 5 of them.
