(AFP/Getty Images)The predictable seventh came when the Ford-Farrell axis once again showed what it can do as they
combined to release Cokanasiga, who befuddled Stockdale with a lovely dummy to score, and Cowan-
Dickie added the eight late in the day when the Irish lineout misfunctioned – not for the first time.
Ireland actually lead the match at one point when Jordan Larmour scored the opening try of the match early
on, but by the time centre Bundee Aki added their first points of the second half in the 73rd minute, the
game was long gone.
One large disappointment and concern for the hosts proved to be the short-lived return of Mako Vunipola.
The loosehead prop came off the bench in the 61st minute to make his return from three months out after
hamstring surgery, but he lasted just 17 minutes before being forced off with what looked to be a head
knock, while Ireland lost their own loosehead Cian Healy just before the break to a nasty-looking ankle
injury.
