Can Ireland beat Italy?
First topic message reminder :
Italy are well overdue beating Ireland and I can see them pushing very hard for a second 6N victory. As an irishman I'll be watching this game very nervously in what may be O driscolls and kidneys last game...

Not keen on Conor Macnamara's commentary. Is he normally on RTÉ? Can't be worse than Jason Mohammed though.
Irish lineout is falling apart...

Lineout is a shambles- Best is not throwing well, the timing and jumping is poor. Good turnover there, I think it was Marshall.

they are usually right, Italy normally have one good game per 6 nations. That hasn't been the case this year.

Italy playing with verve and ambition, must have got a lot of confidence from last week at Twickenham.

Yes they still do. I really don't think they should - especially when Italy are playing at home. How chuffed would they be if they win this? They've never beaten Ireland in the Six Nations so I hear.

WTF was that penalty for? Stupid decision, Healy was cleared away.

Italy should go on and win this. Ireland are a complete shambles.

6-3 Italy. As far as I see, they were poor against Wales and Scotland, good against England, and excellent against France. Which is far better than usual.

Who is this BBC commentator who hates Wayne Barnes so much.
I wish he's stop saying 'we' when he means Ireland.
Bill McLaren wouldn't have approved...

Utterly utterly clueless in attack, passive in defence. Lineout a complete shambles, POM hiding in the backs again and going no support to Heaslip and SOB, poor kicking. Dreadful.

That must be Conor Macnamara (the other is Philip Matthews). I'm not keen on his commentary either.

Re: Can Ireland beat Italy?
we are awful on so many levels
line out a shambles. cronin is certainly not going to tighten things up
not a fan of keeping the ball aswell. just kicking it back to them.
italy are decent. brunel has them playing some great stuff

All Murray does is kick. We really need a proper SH.

I've no idea how you can expect him to be out of the way quicker, there is no actual law that Healy is breaking.

Poor Earls and bad news for Munster. He may have poor decision making but at least he makes line breaks

Fitzy on for Earls. Ireland must now have a bigger team of injured players than fit ones!

The difference between a good backrower like Zanni and POM is stark. Absolutely no comparison between Heaslip and Parisse

Madigan on for Marshall. Jeez...if Ireland do have any players left for the Lions tour, they won't last long at this rate!
Shame Wee Paddy missed that. 6-3 at 28 minutes.

Re: Can Ireland beat Italy?
Surely a contributing factor to these injuries is we kick everything so we have to make so many more tackles.

The major problems for Ireland are not the backrow. We are really missing POC on days like this, there is not a hope in hell the lineout goes to sh*t with him.
And now BOD is yellow carded.

Gilroys is really good at coming in and making those tackles that cut the play off

They've kicked all the ball they have gotten Italy should win this comfortably.

This is car crash TV. There is an apocalyptic feel about this from an Irish perspective......

great hit craig gilroy. not for the first time.
fair play to the italian fans. if only the aviva made half the amount of noise
joke of a first half so far. Italy need to capitalize. their offloading is different class to us
Drico- Beyond daft.
