[QUOTE="Swami, post: 142007, member: 13"] [SIZE=6][B]Autumn internationals: Ireland's second string side overcome USA 57-14 in Dublin[/B][/SIZE] By Michael Morrow [IMG]https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/480/cpsprodpb/2A05/production/_104475701_conwayconan.jpg[/IMG] Andrew Conway notched a hat-trick of tries while Jack Conan also touched down for Ireland [B][B]Autumn international: Ireland v USA[/B] Ireland: (24) 57 Tries:[/B] Conway 3, Conan, Beirne, McCloskey, Roux, Ryan [B]Cons:[/B] Carberry 7 [B]Pen:[/B] Carbery [B]USA: (14) 14 Tries:[/B] Taufete'e, Magie [B]Cons:[/B] Magie 2 Ireland overcame a stubborn USA 57-14 to secure a clean sweep of autumn series wins for a second straight year. Andrew Conway's two first half tries put Ireland ahead at the break although the Eagles stayed in touch through a Joe Taufete'e score and a penalty try. Conway completed his hat-trick in a stop-start second half in which Tadhg Beirne, Stuart McCloskey and Quinn Roux and John Ryan also crossed the line. The win means Ireland end 2018 having lost just once in 12 Tests. A serious head injury to Taufete'e three minutes after the interval put a sour note on a match which failed to ignite into the physical affair that Dublin crowd experienced against Argentina and New Zealand. The visitors enjoyed the better territory in the opening half hour however their early efforts took a toll in a second half as they never threatened Ireland's try line. It was a scoreline that perhaps flattered the hosts who made several uncharacteristic defensive errors but were sufficiently dominant in the scrum to control the tempo for the majority of the game. [SIZE=4][B]Conway makes most of opportunity[/B][/SIZE] Joe Schmidt made 14 changes to his side from [URL='https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/46249842'][U]last week's win over New Zealand,[/U][/URL] offering an opportunity to many of his fringe players as Ireland head towards a World Cup year. With Jacob Stockdale and Keith Earls Schmidt's first choice on the wings, Munster's Conway pushed his claim for inclusion in future match day squads with an eye-catching performance. It was the winger had a hand in all three of Ireland's first half tries, showing searing pace and an eye for a mismatch in the defensive line to score the opener before finishing in the corner after Will Addison's clever pass. Conan's score just before the break came courtesy of another Conway line break as the visitors struggled to contain Ireland's lively backline. Replacement scrum-half Luke McGrath nearly scored what would have been the try of the game late on after Conway's inventive chip and chase but the effort was pulled back for Cian Healy's earlier forward pass. The Munster man was well deserving of his late third try and after the match acknowledged that he was intent on taking the opportunity to offer Schmidt a future selection headache.

Ireland's defence has come in for much praise and has been attributed as a vital part of the team's recent success, however early penalties and missed tackles plagued the early stages of the encounter.
