Why is Sexton still on? He's playing great but we're more than 3 scores up. Same for JGP

Yeah, great servant but think his abilities are deserting him. Doesn't have long left at international

I remember hearing about this amazing young underage prop coming out of Leinster but it seems like 20 years ago!

That's the first time I think I've seen CJ getting CJ-ed. I'm all confused now

I think he had to take a moment himself to come to terms with it.

Pure madness leaving Sexton out there. Get him off FFS.

mfceiling

Ref must be out of breath the amount of times he's blown that whistle.

Shelby Foote

Have we only one ball!!

Could see some value in leaving him on if Casey was on too. But definitely time to unload the bench and get lads like Casey, Baird, Burns some meaningful game time.

JGP is consistently quick to the ruck. Might make a few mistakes, but that speed is impressive at times.

Lol Beirne hopping the ball off your fella gave me the laugh I needed today

Time to bring on Casey now please

Burkie1203

Some good bits but it is mostly meh

Kelleher has been a positive

But we need to empty the bench now

Connors with a lovely windup there. Subtle.

1 minute 15 seconds of the sin bin gone and literally nothing has happened

Edit - 2 minutes gone

At this stage, if you have a player in the bin and have possession yourself, it’s nearly to your advantage to knock on....

The stop/start nature of this game is very frustrating

Losty Dublin

An hour in and I can safely say that Italy are just as bad good impotent playing without Parisse as they were with him.

Shelby Foote

CJ on for the hatrick.

dublinman1990

2 for CJ

KrustyUCC

CJ loves playing the Italians

CJ on for a hat trick

UAEguy2020

This is why I wanted a tap and go, wasting 2-3 minutes here.

bilston

Love to see that actually...Ireland could have spent another 2 minutes scrummaging...Good reward

leakyboots

Subs now please

Wouldn’t be his first hat trick against Italy either!

Burkie1203

Knock on

leakyboots

Did Kelleher knock on?

dublinman1990

Ah ffs.

Shelby Foote

Feck

salmocab

Always enjoy a tap and go

Morathi

Jesus Poite XD

KrustyUCC

Knock on

bilston

The TMO spots that but can't see Henderson ground the ball!

KH25

Gas that Poite can see that, but can’t see a definite try.

Poop

UAEguy2020

There we go worked in the end!

Shelby Foote

Sloppy enough since the restart.

aloooof

Tap and goes off penalties from 5m out this 6 Nations seems to be a recurring theme.

The Inbetween is mine

C'mon Casey.. brilliant!

Clegg

We've been a bit crap in this half.

leakyboots

Casey on, woooo! Very excited about this lad

prawnsambo

Kelleher in a bit of difficulty. Limping off.

UAEguy2020

FFS all that for nothing...

theVersatile

The Vodafone Virtual Mascot has made his way onto the pitch

randomname2005

Some great corner finders today

The Inbetween is mine

I'm betting on Casey to score a try here ...

Shelby Foote

Hope Casey gets and takes opportunity

prawnsambo

Italy with two YCs now. :eek:

c.p.w.g.w

What are Italy bringing to the 6 nations...and what is the 6 nations doing for Italy...how many games have they now lost in a row...

Burkie1203

13 men and we maul a try ffs

Larbre34

Crikey, he is a small fella. Makes it work for himself though, so good luck lad!!
