    It has been scrappy from both sides in the last ten minutes or so since the try.

    We've ticked over the 20-minute mark in Dublin and Crowley's try is all that separates the sides.

    Ireland a scrum just inside the Italian half after the ball was knocked on in the tackle.

    Stephen Varney's clearance kick is cleared down by Dan Sheehan and Italy are under pressure in their own 22.

    Perhaps some teething problems with the change of personnel. Not the best exit there from Ireland.

    Ireland 5-0 Italy

    There's a bit of kick tennis and it ends with Capuozzo sending it straight out of play as he chipped across the field..

    Lorenzo Pani needed a set of ladders to pluck that one out of the air.

    Ireland 5-0 Italy

    It's dropped by Italy but backwards, according to the officials.

    The visitors reset and come again...

    Ireland 5-0 Italy

    Italy win the penalty after Andrew Porter is deemed to have been holding on at the ruck.

    It goes into the corner and Italy have the line-out eight metres out.

  9. Postpublished at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February

    Ireland 5-0 Italy

    Ange Capuozzo and Monty Ioane have got Italy in the Irish 22.

    Now it's over to the forwards to chip away at the green wall, and it's going well until Italy lose momentum when Iaone throws a wild pass and Ireland now have the turnover.

    Ireland 5-0 Italy

    Jack Crowley looks to send a kick into the corner but it's well charged down and now Italy have turned the ball over in the Irish half....

    Ireland 5-0 Italy

    Italy win a free-kick from the scrum and now they have a proper chance to clear.

    Ireland 5-0 Italy

    Ireland win the throw and look to feed James Lowe off the back of the maul, but the winger knocks the ball on and now Italy have the scrum on their own line.

  13. Postpublished at 15:13 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February

    Ireland 5-0 Italy

    Ireland are awarded a scrum for a knock on, but Luke Pearce changes his mind and says it was deliberate, so the ball is into the corner once again.

  14. 'Crowley deserves that one'published at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February

    Former Ulster and Ireland centre on BBC Radio Ulster

    Ireland got into their shape quickly and it's a great team try, stretching Italy from side to side. Jack Crowley was at the heart of it all and deserves his first Ireland try

  15. Postpublished at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February

    Ireland 5-0 Italy

    Joe McCarthy smashes Garbisi back 10 metres and Ireland win the penalty.

    Crowley sends the kick in the Italian 22.

    That was the first time Ireland really stretched their legs. It all started with that lovely surge from Hugo Keenan to drive Ireland into Italian territory.

    And a first international try for Jack Crowley. Not his best kick though it must be said.

    And if you thought Zombie was going to be just a World Cup anthem for Ireland, there's your answer...

    Ireland 5-0 Italy

    Just like Garbisi's penalty attempt, Jack Crowley scuffs his kick and it drifts wide.

    The breeze is causing a few problems in Dublin.

    Jack Crowley

    First blood Ireland!

    We said the momentum was building and Jack Crowley is there to round off a nice move as the green jerseys were lining up on the far side.

    Clinical stuff.

    You can see Garbisi's Italian team-mate having to hold the ball on the tee. That shows the strength of the wind here in Dublin.

    Tommaso Menoncello pulls off a superb tackle to deny Henshaw from breaking through.

    Ireland are building momentum...
