    Regarding kick off, is it possible the 8pm time is trial ahead of the bigger games in the world cup? The Scotland game in RWC is going to be at 9pm local time. That's a long day for the players. Logistically it's very different planning for a early/mid afternoon game - particularly for nutrition and warmup. It's not very often there is an 8pm kick off in international rugby.

    Strange team. Only thing I'd like to see out of this is if an Irish 3rd team can play to patterns that an Irish first team can play. Let's be honest neither Stockdale or Earls are going to France but I am intrigued if they can follow the team philosophy.

    Totally annoyed that us in ROI can’t listen to Zebo’s commentary..

    Does anyone know is Amazon Prime showing the game in NI?

    Do I seriously have no option but to listen to Hugh Cahill here?

    I don't think Italy will have much of a say in this match. I think Ireland will be pretty comfortable to win the game. The loss of Sexton to his three match ban is a downer. But I don't think it will affect our game too much.

    I predict Ireland to win by about 3 tries against Italy.

    We know this isn’t a serious Test match when Cian Healy is actually inline with the rest for the anthem.

    That was the softest 3 points ever for Italy.

    He hadn't scored the 3 points yet but you called it. Impressive 😀

    Unfortunate knock on, but Doris did brilliantly to make an utter bollox of that Italy ruck.

    One of those lift tackles from Italy is going to go horribly wrong.

    Weakest Irish team I have seen in so long. But if they play well it suggests management can do it even with a poor team

    Stockdale really hopeless. Shouldn’t be within an ass’s roar of any involvement with Ireland.

    RTE seem to have the crowd volume dialled right down here.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    Crowley's positioning in attack and his passing in a green shirt is incredibly similar to Sexton.
