Mike McCarthy Former Ireland second row on BBC Radio Ulster
This Italy side is full of confidence like nothing I have seen in recent years. Even though it's cold, the water is on as this game has been played at a furious pace.
Ireland's bench and Italy running out of steam is looking like the decider now
Nick, Bebington
Classic game of two halves. Italy had great first 40 and silenced the crowd but games are not won after 40 and Irish bench and especially half-backs turned it around for home side and re-engage the crowd! Fantastic match.
The bench have made a big impact, it's the speed and certainty Jack Crowley is playing with which allows Ireland to look more dangerous. The scrum is still their Achilles heel which they need to sort out.
