Mayo took a comprehensive win over neighbours Galway in their rearranged Division 1 fixture in the Lidl Ladies National Football League, ending 6-6 to 2-8.

Ireland's Six Nations clash against Italy at the Aviva is proving to be far from a spectacle as Andy Farrell's side lead 24-6 at half-time.

An injury for the Italian's hooker, followed by a straight red for his replacement, Gianmarco Lucchesi, meant the visitors went down to 13 players.

Tries from Joey Carberry, Jamison Gibson-Park, Michael Lowry and Peter O'Mahony have already secured a bonus point for Ireland.
