Italian police escort for Irish team bus:

[Bones]

Hayward and Budd are on fire here.

Now for them to absolutely stink the place up.

[sparky]

Italy 11 Ireland 12 after 35 minutes.

[Derm McCrum]

Italy score another and take the lead into half-time.

Ireland simply a shambles.

[sparky]

Italy score again and lead 16-12.

Much over-hyped Irish band wagon looking a bit shite.

Italy have looked bloody sharp to give them their dues. Long way to go but it would be quite funny to see them win without Parisse.

[sparky]

Half time. 16-12. Lucky Ireland that Tomasso Allan missed those two conversations.

Context: Italy have lost their last 19 Six Nations matches.

[Kruse]

And, the Oirish kickoff for 2nd half doesn't make 10 metres...
I can't believe I'm cheering an Eye-tie team... and don't really expect them to stand up for another 40... but....

[Bones]

Gee Ireland with 11 handling errors to Italy's 3.

Ireland taking charge now though. 19-16

[Bones]

Haha geez Sexton is such a mature, likeable player.

[sparky]

Ireland win 26-16. A bonus point win.

Italy ran out of gas in the last thirty minutes but were the better team before that.

[Crucial]

@Derm-McCrum that’s awesome! Normal Rome driving.

Shit I'm glad the Scots got them early to avoid the wooden spoon.

( clutches frantically at straws )

not as shit as Italy ?

Losing Hogg, Jones and Russell was a massive blow though....

Jeez "For the third match in a row, England’s centre pairing accounted for three or fewer passes in total "

England's tactical flexibility a myth or was Cardiff a one-off?

After tailormade tactics to expose Ireland and France, have Wales exposed England's as a one trick pony? Or is there more to come from Eddie Jones' side?

[Bones]

@Machpants shit that's quite the stat.

That's old school rugby right there. I wonder what Farrell's kick pass run stats are like? My guess is lots of option 1
