Healy off now with injury
Ireland (17) 22 / 7 (7) Italy (53 min)
Moore, Murphy, Jackson and McFadden on for Healy, Best, Henderson and Connor
BOD makes a great run, and goes down winded for his efforts
TRYYYYY, Sexton in, but guess who’s magic set up the try Mr BOD……again
Conversion missed
Ireland (17) 27 / 7 (7) Italy (60 min)
Brian O’Driscoll comes off to a rapturous standing ovation. A truly great player, sadly, no try in his final appearance on home soil
After it all settles down again, Ireland get the scrum just inside the Italian half. Italy tiring fast now
Ireland up to Italian 22
And Italy give away the penalty inside their own 22, going over the top. Ireland kick to touch
7m out Ireland throw in
TRYYYYYY Cronin
Some comical work from both sides giving the ball away to each other, but Cronin eventually comes away with the ball, and scores in the left corner
Conversion good
Ireland (17) 34 / 7 (7) Italy (70 min)
Norts, it’s looking like you went a touch low now!!!!!!
Italy have a scrum as they get a rare foray into the Irish half
Excellent turnover, long pass out to Trimble, but forward. Advantage back to Italy. Scrum inside Irish 22
…and Italy mess it up big time, running into his own player. Scrum to Ireland

Looks that way
I doubt Italy will get a try back
It just gets worse for the Italians – forwards with all the hard work turning the ball over, only to see poor handling lose the ball again to the Irish
Penalty Ireland just inside Italian half. Touch find on 5m line. Wonderful kick from Jackson
TRYYYYYY McFadden
Italians may complain about refs position, but try given
Conversion Good
ItalyIreland (17) 34 / 7 (7) Italy (78 min)
Ireland may get another…..
Almost a try from a grubber, but penalty given anyway
Quick take, TRYYYYYYYYYYYY
NcGrath over from the ruck
Long way off
Nice try at the death
This will do wonders for their confidence before France, and it helps their points difference as well
Jackson misses conversion
Final Score: Ireland (17) 41 / 7 (7) Italy
