grootblousmile on 10 February 2018 at 4:20 pm

Parisse knock the ball and into touch it goes… option of the scrum or lineout to Ireland.

Ireland opt to scrum…
13

grootblousmile on 10 February 2018 at 4:25 pm

Italy also starts out strong… but like all weaker teams they tend to fall away as the game wears on… like we also saw last night when the Kings were spanked by Ulster!
14

grootblousmile on 10 February 2018 at 4:26 pm

Ireland kickable penalty, midfield on the Italian 10m line. They kick to touch though! Only out on the 22… so not a good touchfinder.
15

grootblousmile on 10 February 2018 at 4:26 pm

Ireland held up over the tryline, 5m Irish scrum.
