    You could argue that Henshaw still had momentum but his legs do move when he's on the ground after the tackle was made. Very close but the right decision.

    Ireland 24-0 Italy

    Tom O'Toole, Ronan Kelleher, Harry Byrne are all on for Ireland.

    Andrew Porter, Dan Sheehan and Hugo Keenan make way.

    Robbie Henshaw

    It's ruled out after a quick check.

    The home crowd don't agree, and neither does Henshaw after a quick shake of his head.

    Ireland 29-0 Italy

    Hang on, we're going to the TMO.

    Did Henshaw crawl over the line with a double movement?

    Robbie Henshaw

    Boom! It was inevitable after constant pressure and Robbie Henshaw stretches his way over the line.

    Ireland 24-0 Italy

    Craig Casey is absolutely hammered by one of the big Italian forwards as Ireland remained camped in the Italian 22.

    The tent is up and the campfire is lit.

    Ireland 24-0 Italy

    So close! Dan Sheehan is centimetres away from a hat-trick by Stephen Varney does really well to deny the hooker!

    Superb defence by the scrum-half!

    Ireland 24-0 Italy

    The wind is firmly in Ireland sails and Hugo Keenan makes a superb break and Ireland are back in the Italy 22!

    As soon as Crowley kicked that into the corner and the Irish pack got going, you knew what was coming. Great from the Irish pack to secure the bonus point early in the second half.

    Dan Sheehan

    Zombie rings out for the fourth time today and Ireland have the bonus-point!

    You could see this one coming before it had even started.

    Ireland win the throw, Italy's maul defence disappears and Sheehan can bundle over the line. Far too easy.

    Crowley sends the conversion wide.

    Ireland 19-0 Italy

    This has all become rather scrappy now.

    Italy throw a crooked line-out and Ireland win the scrum, and then the Italian front row collapse and Ireland win the penalty.

    It goes into the corner...

    I can see what Calvin Nash was trying to do but his execution was just off and he gives Italy the ball back.

    Nope, it's knocked forward in the first phase off the line-out and James Lowe thumps the ball clear.

    Ireland 19-0 Italy

    Italy win a penalty after Ryan Baird strayed offside. Can they build from this platform?

  16. Postpublished at 16:02 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February

    Ireland 19-0 Italy

    Calvin Nash looks to dink the ball into the corner but it goes the wrong side of the flag and rolls into touch.

    Italy will have the scrum from where the ball was kicked.

  17. Postpublished at 16:01 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February

    Ireland 19-0 Italy

    Italy pinch the ball from an early ruck and Federico Ruzza does well to make a good few metres up field.

    It's all a bit scrappy and Ireland win the line out.

    Off we go! Jack Crowley sends the ball into the Dublin sky.

    The teams are back out in Dublin, can Ireland secure the bonus-point?

    Ireland have a few nuts and bolts to tidy up in the second half but they have had moments of real quality in the first half when Italy haven't been able to live with them.
