    Who kicked it? Ringrose?

    Think it was Larmour

    Has the blue line near the try line caused issues for other 6n matches over the years?

    It’s normally concealed a lot better

    Peak Ireland there. Turnover ball and we kick it in goal!

    So you'd rather he got smashed into touch? Instead they kick to us and we get the ball back about fifteen metres ahead of where we won it

    All about confidence.

    Ireland playing like a team that are on a losing streak and a bit tense.

    Clear tactic from Italy to pull Irish players to the wrong side and hold them in to try scam the penalty.

    Bad decision making from Italy. A team who believes they can win kick for posts there.

    Yeah. I agree. There's loads of blue football markings all over the pitch there which is not a great sight.

    CJ is causing havoc at the breakdown, rips, steals, clearouts

    Larmour looks full of zip

    Thankfully has been good under the ball too

    I don’t think there was any chance of getting smashed into touch on this occasion. Larmour has a great ability to beat a man. As does Ringrose if it was him who kicked.

    Absolutely correct decision. Italy had pushed up, nobody in their backfield. The kick found grass behind them in their 22 hut was overcooked and needed to hug the 5m line.

    He didn't have any overlap outside him and taking contact would only have allowed Italy reset their line and backfield.

    Not for me. Either try beat the man, take it into contact and retain possession or a chip over the top. Garbisi had the back field covered, there was about a 20m gap for Larmour to chip into.

    They're going nowhere, but Italy trying to move the ball through the hands more than us.

    We haven't had the ball in ages. Not hard.
