DUBLIN (Reuters) - A rampant second-half performance from Ireland, in which they scored six tries, helped Joe Schmidt's side to a 49-7 victory over Georgia at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday.

The hosts made hard work of Georgia in the first half and squandered a number of try-scoring opportunities, but Ian Madigan kicked three penalties to give Ireland a 9-0 lead.
