The Italians are really putting it up to Ireland today and have been brilliant in this first half.

Mclean again is looking dangerous and he dummies past O'Connell into yards of space but Reddan gets back and just about brings him down. The Italians eventually knock forward and Ireland will have the put in inside their 22.

Sextons return kick from the kick off does not get much distance and Mclean gathers and brings italy to the Ireland 10 meter line.

Grande Leo!!!!!!!

Sextons kick is good 20 meters out to the left as Ireland go back in front with just under 10 minutes left in this half.

Italy really has been showing a good side these past two or three weeks..

Great run from Reddan as he picks and goes from the rook but just as he looks set to go over he is brought down just short of the line. Healy and Heaslip pick and go but the ball is eventually held up. Ireland had advantage after an italian offside so they will have a penalty and Sexton opts for the posts.

Orquera makes a hash out of a Sexton kick and miss times his jump and knocks it forward and now Ireland will have the scrum on the 22 as they look to go back in front.
