(Reuters) - Italy brushed aside last week's upset loss to Samoa and got back to its winning ways by running in five tries in a convincing 36-14 victory over Tonga in Nuku'alofa on Friday.

Tries from wingers Jacopo Trulla and Monty Ioane, combined with a penalty and conversion from flyhalf Paolo Garbisi, gave the visitors a comfortable 15-0 halftime lead in the Tongan capital.
