Ireland women crush Italy

The victory highlights a significant improvement under head coach Scott Bemand, who praised his team's ruthless streak and clinical finishing.

Ireland's dominant first half set the tone for the match, leaving an outclassed Italian side struggling to keep pace.

The result is a major boost for women's sport in Ireland and solidifies the team's position as a rising force in international rugby.

However, the team will be without star Denise O'Sullivan for their next qualifier against the Netherlands due to suspension.
