Ireland finished bottom of the U20 Six Nations Championships for the first time after a 15-12 defeat to Italy at the Stadio Monigo in Treviso.

The visitors failed to take advantage of an early yellow card, when Italian hooker Nicolo Corvasce was sin-binned just three minutes in for a high tackle on Irish out-half Tom Wood.

Remarkably, the hosts scored two tries while down to 14 men, as Ireland were undone by a series of lineout turnovers and handling errors.

Winger Alessandro Drago finished off a counter-attack on seven minutes before temporary hooker Alessio Caiolo-Serra snuck in in front of the posts one minute before Corvasce returned. They added to Pietro Celi's early penalty for a 15-0 half-time lead.
