  1. Ireland 51-10 Italy

    Italy squander a prime piece of territory. Foot up early in the tunnel of a scrum five metres from the Ireland line.

    Ireland tap and go from the free-kick, Sean Cronin gets his giant mitts on the ball.

  2. Replacement

    Fergus McFadden has already made a couple of cameos as a blood replacement, but I think this change is for keeps.

    Robbie Henshaw trots off to be replaced.

  4. Ireland 51-10 Italy

    The bite has gone out of this match. Italy toothless in attack, Ireland smothering rather than smashing in defence.

    The clock is winding down and the ice baths are calling.

  5. The stage is set

    England v Wales (16:00 GMT)

    Coming up after this game is the big un. 

    BBC Radio 5 live are already in position: 

  6. Ireland 51-10 Italy

    Italy are putting the ball through the palms. Might as well with less than 15 minutes left and a chasm on the scoreboard.

    The green wall in front of them looks pretty solid though as they probe back and forth.

    Play up on the Ireland 22m line.

  7. Reggie Corrigan
    Former Ireland prop on BBC Radio UIster

    "You have to put this into context. Italy have gone through the motions and Ireland haven't really been challenged, but it's been a pretty solid performance from the home side."

  8. Zippidy Zebo

    Ireland's Simon Zebo has made 67 metres, the highest of the game. He's also beaten four defenders.

  9. Get involved

    Simon: It's days like this that make me question Italy's right to involvement over the likes of Romania, Georgia etc.

  10. Reggie Corrigan
    Former Ireland prop on BBC Radio UIster

    "It's so difficult for defences to read Madigan. He goes right to the line, has quick feet and if you bite down on him for one second he'll just step inside and go over for a try."

    A lovely little show and go from Ian Madigan as he gives Leonardo Sarto a sniff of an inside pass and then darts outside the Italian and over from five metres out.

    That part of his game is sharp. A useful man to have to come off the bench when the game opens up in the final quarter.

    His conversion kick comes back off the upright.

  13. Ireland 46-10 Italy

    Italy have actually pegged back Ireland's possession to 61% - it was up nearer 70% earlier in the game.

    Could probably do with a little more of the ball, mind.

  14. No try

    Ireland 46-10 Italy

    Sean Cronin rampaging through into acres of Aviva praire. They are queuing up outside him, but his pass is a little behind Robbie Henshaw and then Jared Payne is held up by some scampering Italy defence.

    They butchered that chance. It should have been a stroll in for someone.

  15. +++ Stat attack +++

    Ireland 46-10 Italy

    Three Irish players have now clocked up more than 50 metres - Jared Payne, Andrew Trimble and Simon Zebo.

    And five Irishmen have reached double figures for carries - Jack McGrath, CJ Stander, Jamie Heaslip, Robbie Henshaw and Zebo.

    David Odiete (con Haimona)

    Enterprising stuff from Guglielmo Palazzani as the scrum-half misses two with a long looping pass from the base of the breakdown to pick out full-back David Odiete out wide.

    Ireland's drift defence can't get out quick enough and Odiete scampers in to lighten some of Italy's scoreboard debt.

  17. Ireland 46-3 Italy

    Ireland's record winning margin against Italy is 55 points by the way - a 61-6 win in Limerick in 2003.

    Still some way to go to match that sort of walloping.

  18. Watch: Heaslip scores his second

    We're keeping 'em coming - you can now enjoy Jamie Heaslip's second try.

  19. Reggie Corrigan

    "The Italian players will be disappointed with their showing today. They haven't fronted up. That's not to take away from Ireland's performance, but the Italians have been incredibly poor."

    Sean Cronin (con Madigan)

    Replacement hooker Sean Cronin bustles past Dario Chistolini to scoot over for Ireland's seventh try.

    A quick tap-and-go by Keith Earls and swift ball from the breakdown gave him the chance to storm through some flimsy defence.
