Good pass and good finish as Lucy Mulhall scores the opening try of the game for Ireland.

That's a huge call that has been made there as referee Aurélie Groizeleau sticks with her original decision not to award the try.

It did look harsh on Ireland, but on we go. Still 5-3 to the hosts.

Big call to be made here as Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe crosses for a try but the referee believes she was held up by a tackle.

It's gone to the TMO.

It's tense!

Ireland are warming up nicely here.

The backs are getting the ball in hand and throwing it about quite well, with Beibhinn Parsons having a few early opportunities to threaten.

Italy still leading by that early penalty, though.

It's first blow to Italy who get on the scoreboard through an early Beatrice Rigoni penalty.

Ireland have responded well, though, with a good attack and are enjoying some god possession.

There's an early worry for Italy as prop Nicola Gai goes down injured but she is soon back on her feet and back in the action.

Ireland head coach Greg McWilliams spoke on Friday about how pleased he was that Ireland were playing this game in Cork.

And the crowd at Musgrave Park seem pretty happy about that too - and they're making a great noise ahead of kick-off.

We've had the anthems. It's nearly time.

It's team news time.

Ireland head coach Greg McWilliams has made four changes to the team that lost 40-5 away to France last Saturday.

Scrum-half Kathryn Dane, wing Beibhinn Parsons, front row Christy Haney and number eight Hannah O'Connor have been promoted to the starting side.

Ulster's Dane replaces Aoibheann Reilly, who drops to the bench, while Parsons is drafted in at wing as Lucy Mulhall switches to full-back, with Eimear Considine left out.

Haney and O'Connor are both promoted to the starting pack, while Aoife Wafer, 19, is set for her debut after being named on the bench.

Haney, who also made her debut off the bench against France, replaces Katie O'Dwyer in the front row for the Musgrave Park contest, with O'Connor taking over from Brittany Hogan at number eight.

Ireland's search for a first win of the 2022 Six Nations continues this evening against Italy in Cork.

It's played two, lost two so far for Greg McWilliams' side, but they will no doubt believe that Italy at home represents a good chance to get a win on the board after that home defeat by Wales and the heavy loss away to France last weekend.

Italy come into the game having lost away to the French in their opener and following that up with a 74-0 defeat at home to England.

McWilliams was in upbeat mood during his media briefing on Friday - let's see if his players can deliver a positive result at Musgrave Park.

We have you covered with a live stream of the match on the BBC iPlayer and here on the BBC Sport website, where we will also have live text commentary and in-play try clips.

That's a good Sunday evening right there. Enjoy!
