Italy being far more inventive in broken play, but being hammered at the breakdown.

Really poor ball protection and retention

You have to admire the way the Landsowne Road crowd respect the kicker..

[sparky]

Kennan with a 2nd try. A double on debut.

Taken away up the men upstairs. Rather harsh IMHO.

[MiketheSnow]

Great try Ireland pulled back for the Irish 5s pull back

[sparky]

They've gone upstairs to review it. Irish blockers? James Ryan?

[Victor Meldrew]

@sparky

Disallowed for obstruction. Bit harsh

[sparky]

No try. James Ryan interfering with the tackler.

[Victor Meldrew]

Bundi O'Aki having a good game.

[sparky]

Kennan over again. But they are going upstairs again. Forward pass?

[sparky]

Try given. 22-3. Hugo Keenan with a double. Sexton gets the kick 24-3.

Ireland 24-3 Italy
38 mins gone

Half time. Ireland 24 Italy 3.

[sparky]

Padovani with an intercept try for Italy 24-10. Really crap by Sexton.

[sparky]

Try for Will Connors 29-10. Bonus point try. Sexton with the kick. 31-10.

[sparky]

Sexton scores 36-10.

[Victor Meldrew]

Lineout drive over the line and Ireland score. Comments woman describing try: "Brilliant to see him go over, but those tries just don't happen on their own.....but you do need to know when to put it down"

Gee thanks. Never would have realised that.

[sparky]

Aki in. Italy look dreadful now. 41-10.
