Ireland start this half highly energised, they flash the ball down the left side for Nash to finish in the corner

Ireland 5m out

Ireland into the 22 now, attacking with force

Ireland get the second half back underway

the Irish performance itself isn't much better tbh

this secondary commentator on eir sport has got such a monotone he's putting me to sleep!

Ireland kick to touch and the ref blows the whistle on what a disappointing half or rugby. Too many errors from Ireland means they trail 15-3, Italy haven't had to work too hard for their points and are controlling the game well.

Ireland once again knock the ball on so its an Italian scrum inside the Irish half

Ireland turn over possession and kick downfield, Italy attempt to run it back but a forward pass means its an Ireland scrum

Come on lads!
