Ireland crush Canada

Exciting 21-year-old debutant Keith Earls crossed in the third minute to begin a first-half romp which also produced two tries for Rob Kearney and further scores for Jamie Heaslip and Tommy Bowe.

The visitors fared better in the second period, largely due to Ireland's scrappy performance, but substitute back-rows David Wallace and Alan Quinlan, and Bowe again, made sure the half-century was completed in the dying minutes.
