Dan Sheehan scored a hat-trick as Ireland edged to a flat Six Nations victory in Rome

Dan Sheehan scored a hat-trick but Ireland produced a disappointingly error-strewn performance in the Six Nations’ final round as they edged past Italy 22-17 in Rome.

Full-back Hugo Keenan scored Ireland’s other try but four was all they could manage despite Italy seeing Michele Lamaro sin-binned and Ross Vintcent shown a 20-minute red card.

Ireland stretched to 22-10 in front in the 58th minute but Italy replied with the next score through Stephen Varney – Monty Ioane scoring a try in the first half – creating a nervy finish.

Despite further chances, Ireland couldn’t score again, with Italy then handed one final chance to claim an improbable win, but one they couldn’t take.
