Have Ireland come out for second half? Wake up, get that bonus and move on. Italy should be relegated out of the Six Nations.

Two places to find Healy; in a bus lane and the wrong side of a ruck.

Feels like we've had bugger all ball in this half, why are we kicking it away when we do finally get it. It's not as if we're getting great territory from it.

This is a ten point game if murray hadn’t given away that penalty at the start.

On the wireless earlier all three pundits predicted 30-40 point victory for us, we're a good way off that now. I'd be worried about the match next week based on this performance so far

I fear for us in Paris

Very disappointing performance today.

It's mad how it's still SD on Saorview.

If Beirne does anything between now and the end, he'll get it.

Edit: Connors with the try makes him frontrunner. Quinlan is going to go for a back five of the pack player.

Ireland have been blunt all game. Some fortunate breaks in the first half but they seem to have little idea how to unlock the Italy defence.

The apparently non-existent ban on offloads seems to be alive and well.

The female commentator on ITV is actually painful to listen to. Jesus wept.....

Humberto Salazar

And there it is. Relax now lads.

Clegg

Glad to get the bonus point. Bit really need to kick on to up our points difference.

Would like to see Ross Byrne and JGP given a chance to speed things up.

No relaxing we need the points

Isn’t it? In the day and age of 4K and huge TV screens and multiple broadcasters and media carriers, it is sloppy and just makes for unenjoyable watching all round.

Good try BTW.

We get it, Mrs Murray. We get it. It was genius on Murray's part, and also Stockdakes's fault.

We've offloaded throughout the game.

Completely.

You'd wonder what games some people are watching

Some lovely off loads from Hugo k come to mind. And then one from stockdale

The concern is about next week. Italy aren't strong opposition and ireland have worked harder for that bonus point than they should have. I'm surprised we got it, with all the silly mistakes we've made.

lawrencesummers

The only positives from this game.

Keenan looks an option at this level and it’s great to find players like him this early in a WC cycle.

Murray looks faster than in a lot of Munster games this season.

Outside of that.

Sexton off form.
Stockdale not convincing.

Clegg

Wittycynic in shambles.

yerrahbah

Some beautiful passes in there from Murray

degsie

Wow, just wow!

The one they made their mind up about before it started.

Thats a great team try

KH25

Good man Johnny. Making up for that intercept.

Now get Byrne on and give him some minutes.

Clegg

JGP and Byrne on please.

awec

A Henshaw offload.

2020 is crazy.

A-Train

That's a great try, great hands, lines and running.

Kicking well though

Bealham and Ed Byrne impressive already

UAEguy2020

Yeah...ban on offloads.

kuang1

That was pure brilliance. From the moment Stockdale caught the box kick to Sexton touching down was raw rugby porn.

Must not watched France Italy, France conceded 3 tries against this lot.

Losty Dublin

As he is replaced by POM, I have to say that Doris definitely deserves his game next week.

The ban exists until we have 4 try’s scored apparently.

Clegg

Great offload from POM.

Shame we're not allowed offload tho. Pen to Italy.

Lol.

thomond2006

Three cheers for POM. Very good, very good.

Italy imploding

all is forgiven!!
