Here are our player ratings after Ireland's bonus-point win
ROB KEARNEY: Solid shift from the veteran full-back, who held his shape well: 7/10
KEITH EARLS: A fine effort from a man bang in form and cutting some seriously dangerous lines: 8
ROBBIE HENSHAW: Caused Italy untold problems until injury cut short his day in a fine showing: 9
BUNDEE AKI: Physical as ever and a big handful in midfield, but his hand speed must improve for Ireland to stretch the best defences: 7
JACOB STOCKDALE: Bagged two tries late on but was quiet before that overall: 7
JOHNNY SEXTON: Another masterful steering by Ireland's linchpin fly-half: 8
CONOR MURRAY: Makes the side tick, and makes it look so easy, simply churns out top-drawer showings: 8
JACK McGRATH: Powerful scrummaging and some big turnovers: 8
RORY BEST: Another hard-nosed shift from Ireland's gritty skipper: 7
TADHG FURLONG: Injury robbed the Lions prop of any meaningful impact: 6
IAIN HENDERSON: Withdrawn at half-time and had been unable to get hands on the ball and carry hard: 6
DEVIN TONER: Ran the lineout well enough but spilled the ball a few times in contact: 6
PETER O'MAHONY: Always gets his hands dirty with the unseen dog-work that sets him apart from the rest: 7
DAN LEAVY: Put himself about well enough without quite reaching the heights of his showing in Paris last weekend: 7
8 JACK CONAN: Sumptuous step off the touchline and soft hands for Murray's try, a good shift: 7
REPLACEMENTS: Ireland emptied their bench early on to ease the burden on frontline playmakers, but had to pitch in Andrew Porter after just three minutes. He coped admirably: 7/10
