@ultimate. ... BOD to score, ireland by 8!

Actually ROG wouldha got some strategy! Move Madigan in. No one is pointing out that Jackson defensive (no mans land) pitch position is Exposing players ... Almost inviting injury!!

@AgeingProp do we still think Ireland by 13?

We are seriously missing rog

Good man Paddy......

Ireland passion to win out. Italy not thinking on their feet... Shouldha maxed 10 more points before HT. ireland to regroup and win.

Despite having played very poorly and being dominated by the home side, Ireland should be overjoyed with the scoreline at the break. Italian's gameplan has been effective so far but just errors at crucial times letting them down. Lot of effort from the Italians but need to be a bit more precise.

Jesus Christ Mahony on the wing and hurt things aren't looking good!!!

This will probably be one of the greatest victories when we pull this off considering the make shift team we have. But it won't save kidney.

Italy have the passion but Ireland have the luck - Francis or Patrick?
