THE Irish completely outclassed this Dutch under age selection in a totally one sided representative game at Sydney Parade yesterday.

The Irish colleges have now won four of their five outings this season; while Holland suffered their second heavy defeat in a row of their brief three match Irish tour.

Thirteen tries were recorded by a rampant Irish selection with place kickers Ollie Moran and Conor Mahony applying the icing on the cake - converting nine of the touchdowns.

Holland included four full internationals in their starting line up; but they were swept aside by the Irish who sauntered into an interval lead of 33 points, with left winger Dan O'Sullivan chalking up a hat trick of tries.
