Italy Women… 29 Ireland Women… 27
EIMEAR Considine scored twice but Ireland fell to their first ever women’s Six Nations defeat to Italy, with a converted Giada Franco try in the 50th minute proving decisive.
Adam Griggs’ Ireland side took two bonus points from the game, but they lost for the second time in the competition.
