Defending champions Wales started the 2020 Six Nations with a comfortable 42-0 victory over Italy in Wayne Pivac's first Test match in charge.

A hat-trick from Josh Adams and further tries from new cap Nick Tompkins, who scored a stunning effort, and George North set up the victory.

Fly-half Dan Biggar added 13 points after being given the goalkicking duties ahead of Leigh Halfpenny.

Ireland got off to a winning but unimpressive start as they beat Scotland 19-12.

Johnny Sexton scored all 19 Irish points, including a first-half try.

Meanwhile, England will face France at 3am tomorrow.
