good man oisin!

Italy kickoff long and Stewart box kick ahead

Italy are ready to restart the game

Not rolling away at the ruck

HT here and Ireland have a slender lead. Italy have played much of the game in Ireland's half and have had the lions share of possession but still have no tries to show for it. Lets hope the game opens up a little in the second half

Italy win the scrum and run hard at the Ireland defence which seems impenetrable. Rizzi kicks ahead to Colm Hogan and Ireland kick the ball to touch to end the half

Break in play now as players are treated

McPhillips chips ahead and there's a double knock-on. Scrum on halfway to Italy

Ireland turn the ball over anyway and have possession on their own 10m line

McPhillips doesn't find touch
