A few less f&ck ups and we'd be out of site. Italians have to tire after all them tackles

We weren't complaining . Just stating the facts

Gwan Tommy O'Donnell!

Serious strength from Henderson in the build up

The 2nd half has been quite similar to the game in the avocado last year, less accuracy though. We got that score from Italian mistakes. Forward pass charge down mail infringement

14 points scored when Italy have a man in the bin.

Efficient.

jaysus Boss waa slow to get the ball away .
A breakaway try was on

Not a great game or a great performance, but I'd be very surprised if Schmidt wasn't happy overall. The game was won without having to exert ourselves or show our hand too much

I think te BR needs to be Henderson/POM/Heaslip against France with Jordi on the bench. Are Mick Mc and/or Foley back?

Not giving up set plays is great and all, but you can't help but feel that there were plenty of bad decisions made in broken play.
Anyone care to explain the amount of times zebo and Payne switched?

opposition ball and 7 man scrum and Cronin goes backwards like hes being launched off an aircraft carrier

Thats the risk you take with a restricted tactical approach though

So sob only a twinge....... Either he starts next week for Ireland or Leinster , won't be benching.

Quite pathetic that the Rte panel didnt seen to realise that Leinster are playing next Sunday.

Italy pushed before ball was put in should have been an irish peno.

I switched to BBC during the pre-match waffle - better for the blood pressure.

Dunno who got MOTM today but I thought O'Mahoney was excellent in attack and defence.

Murray was MOTM

Given the unexpected brilliance of Keatley and the acknowledged fact that Joe always picks on form, there is no way that Sexton could come back - even into the squad.
