DUBLIN (Reuters) - Hooker Ronan Kelleher grabbed four tries and Ireland capped eight new players as many of their younger fringe men seized the opportunity to impress in a 71-10 thrashing of the United States at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.

Having weathered a Japanese attacking blitz last week, Andy Farrell's men were equally lethal going forward this time out, in particular with four tries in 13 first-half minutes that included debut efforts for Robert Baloucoune and Nick Timoney.
