    Why is the deadball area so small?

    A few grounds like this for the World Cup. Mainly the football pitches - St James Park, Brighton etc.

    France or Argentina. Or France and New Zealand. Tournament will be over in 2 weeks either way.

    Want to put a charity bet on that?

    Ireland aren't at the races today, maul is terrible so far, Toner is a big loss there but not helped by the Italians being able to do want they there.

    Two observations as we come to half time.

    Henshaw has added a lot more potency to the 3/4 line thus far. Parisse has added a lot more potency to Italy in general. It's making for an exciting game all told.

    Bit of a reality check here. The "we'll put 30 or 40 points on them" doesn't look like this now.

    Italy 7 messing with McGraths bind in the scrum there RIGHT in front of Garces. Thats pretty terrible reffing.

    Have to say I'm surprised at what I've seen from Italy so far. Nothing in their previous matches suggested they were worth worrying about. We've been quite sloppy though. Really need to tighten things up in the 2nd half.

    How long between a ref saying use it, and then acting on that is supposed to be allowed?

    Italian lineout is shocking, elsewhere they've been very good though.

    Henderson and Earls are probably my only two stand outs this half, maybe SOB too.

    Heaslip, bowe and Murray might as well be sitting in the changing room

    Scrum was even enough. Ireland probably would have got the ball had Murray not gone beyond the ball

    Ref keeps saying use it and then doing nothing when they don't! Nobody from Ireland has played well today! Need to up the gears in the 2nd half!

    Positives: centre partnership looks good
    Negatives: our maul

    No point having a strong lineout if can't do anything with the possession

    Garces has been disappointing, missing/ letting a lot go.
