Ireland got their campaign off to a flying start with a convincing victory over USA, scoring 20 tries in total. Joe Calcott led the way with seven tries, while Cian Horgan crossed six times and Thomas Martin added a hat-trick.

Wales, meanwhile, will be hoping to respond after suffering a 98-18 defeat to England on Friday, as they prepare to take on Ireland at the WIN Entertainment Centre.
