    Blue line behind the try line is a pain.

    That’s a new low on officiating.

    There was clearly downward pressure from Henderson

    Lost control after the try was scored. Officiating appalling this six nations.

    Usually appalling when Poite is involved.

    It’s infuriating that the ref doesn’t even look at that. That’s shambolic from Poite.

    I cannot believe that wasn't given, beyond belief. Reffing is a tough job at the best of times but that was just objectively wrong. Especially from a TMO who can take his time and look at replays.

    I don't think we're in a 'thank goodness' scenario after 10 mins, it would be just nice to be awarded actual tries scored in the first place.

    That is a pain in the arse. Poite should have noticed that before the match started. I expect lots of anger on twitter over this omission.

    In from the side directly in front of the ref and requires the linesman to call it...

    Good idea but poor execution from Park.

    Never a penalty to Ireland, Raynal immediately gives one straight back to Italy.

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

    Larmour looks full of zip

    I do think it was a mistake starting Sexton in this game. They should have given the others another game given its Italy

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

    Just on the Henderson non-try. I see people talking about 'downward pressure'. That is not the test of a try scored with ball in hand, it's the test for a loose ball touched down. The important factor is control of the ball where it's carried over the line and touched down.

    Going nicely so far but you'd hope to see more as the lead gets comfortable.

    My Rome benchmark is 2007.

    It’s normally concealed a lot better

    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.
