Ireland 35 Russia 0: Game in 60 seconds
It took just 90 seconds for Ireland to put this game out of Russia’s reach as Rob Kearney scored his country’s fastest Test try since Rory Best scored in 52 seconds against Wales in 2007. Ireland were never going to be in danger in Kobe but this was devastatingly rapid against the 20th-ranked team in the world. Peter O’Mahony’s second ever Ireland try followed 11 minutes later, also converted by captain Johnny Sexton, to put Ireland on course for victory inside the first quarter-hour.
02: TRY Ireland!
