Tadhg Furlong, Robbie Henshaw injuries take shine off Ireland win

Injuries to Robbie Henshaw and Tadhg Furlong took the shine off Ireland's comprehensive 56-19 victory over Italy in the Six Nations.

Match Commentary

81'+1		56-19 End of second half
80'		The big news from Twickenham is that Leigh Halfpenny has been ruled out of the Wales XV. Plenty more to come on that and much more from Week 2 of the 2018 Six Nations!
80'		Up next in the Six Nations, at 16:45 GMT, is England vs. Wales, which promises to be a much closer encounter than this one. Stay with ESPN for all the reaction from Dublin, as well as the action from Twickenham, and tomorrow's match between Scotland and France at Murrayfield.
