Twins Louis and Innes Senior and brothers Toby and George King all got on the scoresheet as Ireland beat World Cup debutants Jamaica 48-2 in their opener in Leeds.

It was very much a family affair with Louis Senior getting the ball rolling for Ireland, who ran in ten tries in total.
Kieran Rush did slot a penalty right at the end of the first half to give the Reggae Warriors their first-ever points, but they ran out of steam late on.

Here are some of the pictures of the day:
