  2. Italy's woespublished at 15:18 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2017

    Where is it going wrong for Italy? 

    For starters they can hardly get their hands on the ball with Ireland enjoying 66% of possession.

    The Irish have enjoyed 42% of that possession while camped in the Italians' 22.

    Tackles win games and Italy have been guilty of missing 13 of them in the first half.

    James Lockwood: Ireland the first team to get both losing/winning bonus points, not sure they'd want that bit of history!

    Dave Sommerville: Ireland looking absolutely dominant - really hope Italy don't capitulate, that would be no good for the tournament.

    Patrick Quirke: Terrific spirit from this Italian side, the passion from the crowd is incredible.

    As Ireland bulldoze their way towards victory in Rome, nerves and bootlaces are tightening over in Cardiff.

    CJ Stander is having a stormer in Rome.

    Two tries, 15 carries and four defenders beaten.

    Simon Zebo has not got on the scoresheet yet but he has run a game high 65m and beaten five defenders.

    Half-time: Italy 10-28 Ireland

    What I'm really impressed with is that Ireland are doing really well defensively. Even though they are a man down they are still able to play a sweeper system and be so tight.

    Italy 10-28 Ireland

    That is your lot for the first half and Ireland could not have asked for much more.

    They have the bonus point bagged and, with a 18-point lead, are close to getting over the horizon.

    This is fantastic for Ireland. To score four tries before half time and earn that bonus point is fantastic.

    Italy 10-28 Ireland

    Italy waste a promising position set up by flanker Simone Favaro's gallop up the whitewash as centre Luke McLean over-cooks a chip.

    Rob Kearney has the time to shepherd that dead under no pressure.

  13. North set to play?published at 15:07 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2017

    Wing George North has been named in the Wales line-up to face England - but will be given until 30 minutes before kick-off to prove his fitness.

    "It's obviously a close call because we're leaving it late," said assistant coach Robin McBryde.

    Fly-half Dan Biggar’s name is also on the team sheet handed out to the press.

    Converted try - Italy 10-28 Irelandpublished at 34 mins

    CJ Stander (con Jackson)

    14 men? Pah!

    Ireland make light of the man deficit, surging back downfield before flanker CJ Stander - a battlecruiser of a runner - pinballs through a couple of Italy defenders and over from 10m out.

     Paddy Jackson slots the extras and Ireland have already bagged the four-try bonus point.

    After losing their first game, they need as many of the style marks as they can get over the rest of the campaign.

    Ireland's Donnacha Ryan is off for a 10-minute sit-down to pay for his crimes.

  17. Irish back rowpublished at 15:01 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2017

    Despite the recent reply from the hosts the Irish back row is causing chaos in Rome, sucking in the Italy defence with their relentless ball carrying.

    Try scorer CJ Stander leads the way with a game high 14 carries, with Sean O'Brien on 10 and Jamie Heaslip on nine.

    Penalty try (con Canna)

    Italy catch and drive a line-out five metres out.

    There is some serious rumble gathering behind the blue machine before Donnacha Ryan throws himself into the wheels.

    Referee Glen Jackson is not having that.

    He is straight under the posts to award the penalty try.

    Carlo Canna adds the extras.

  19. Ireland bonus point?published at 30 mins

    Italy 3-21 Ireland

    Ireland are firmly locked on becoming the first side to pick up a four-try bonus point.

    Fifty minutes to go and, considering the way that Italy folded in conceding 30 unanswered points in the second half against Wales, it is all but banked.

    Converted try - Italy 3-21 Irelandpublished at 26 mins

    Keith Earls (con Jackson)

    Ireland are making this look like they are running against tackle shields rather than serious opposition.

    They are working through their phases with precision and power and making serious yardage from each passage of play.

    Italy's defence scrambled across the pitch and crisp hands in midfield put Keith Earls in once again.

    Paddy Jackson converts once more.
