Italy are impressing again. Italy are used to having a good pack, but this 6N they've finally gotten a decent backline to add to the pack. Orquera's had a few good games, Gori has been impressive (I make him the best scrum-half this tournament?), and the back 3 have been the best back 3 for Italy that I have seen.

What a weird game both BO'D and Parisse yellow carded.
Good calls both yellows....worst thing for irish is that he will be back with 20 minutes left and 10 minutes rested!!
They really aren't that impressive. It's a massively under-strength Irish team, with people playing out of position and Kidney playing injured and tired players from previous games.
You were doing well up until then........
It at a stage worryingly where Ross is looking like he's spent but Archer won't be risked. I just in shock our bench is so poorly picked like Kilcoyne Henderson are only 2 forwards named that I think they do trust. I surprised Italians have kept going at Gilroys wing and not tested POM
I think I heard the whole front row played 80 minutes against France?

Standing way too deep IMO up til now. Need to let Madigan get as many touches as possible.
Maddigan has been impressive since coming on.

I agree, Madigan looks really up for it today.
Great fight back........lot sof good stuff from Ireland without Parisse there....now lets seee what the last 20 bring?
A lot for future something about Henderson makes me think he can be like Ferris every time I see him just hope he's allowed stick to 6

Good reffing by Barnes realising it was an accident. Still stupid though.

I think it had to be a penalty, justice done in the scrum.
