Ireland's bid to become the first team to win successive Six Nations Grand Slams moved a step closer on Sunday as they breezed past Italy 36-0 at Lansdowne Road.

Dan Sheehan scored a brace of tries as the Irish backed up on their sublime 38-17 victory over France with fly-half Jack Crowley outstanding.
