It's a rugby tournament, not a play, but I think the advice still applies. If they get knocked out early we could get back for the second half...

I can see an interesting scenario of you watching it on your phone, Ireland scoring at the same time as your sons opposition do and you having to explain your wild celebrations.

Much and all as many people don't like RTE's coverage, God only knows what hames ITV are making of the game

PS, it's on S4C if you are that way inclined.

I'm actually liking ROG and EOS as pundits.

His boot seems to have become a lot more unreliable this season, even if that one was a fair distance out.

Dire spectacle thus far.

It's all being played in the Italian half, but they're defending well.....so far.

Turgid affair.

Italian discipline is dreadful.

vienne86

I don't think that's a try.

Wales really should have scored there. Well done Italy!

BBDBB

Good defence by Italy

Game might not be great but the atmosphere sure is.

Stheno

WTF with the endless kicking?

One man team, but what a man.
