<\/a>HALF-TIME! Ireland 5-10 Italy<\/p>\n

The clocks ticks past 40 minutes as Ireland load a scrum. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s stuck in the tunnel and Italy win a penalty! Garbisi kicks for touch to give his side one last chance at the end of the half. <\/p>\n

Italy win the line-out unchallenged…but the maul is moved on and McCloskey does briliantly to win the ball in the tackle to hold it up!<\/p>\n

Half-time and the visitors lead by five points, but could that final passage prove pivotal?<\/p>\n

<\/a>Ireland 5-10 Italy<\/p>\n

Some good Italy phases but a clever offload is knocked on. Prendergast collects but a poor kick allows Italy possession again. <\/p>\n

Pani brings it forward but the kick is too long and Osborne touches down for a drop out. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Ireland 5-10 Italy<\/p>\n

Huge reaction from Italy as they win a penalty on their scrum. There are some afters between the two sets of players but it\u2019s all clear.<\/p>\n

Garbisi kicks for the line-out and secures it.<\/p>\n

That yellow card will stay as a yellow for Casey \u2013 he was \u201cgoing backwards\u201d so there\u2019s a \u201chigh degree of mitigation\u201d. <\/p>\n

<\/a>TRY! Ireland 5-10 Italy<\/p>\n

A great chance for Italy to get ahead here. They take their line-out on the 10m line…<\/p>\n

…and they\u2019re over! They form the maul and spin to the right before Nicotera goes over.<\/p>\n

Garbisi splits the posts with a lovely kick to add two. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Ireland 5-3 Italy<\/p>\n

Almost a nasty collision as Pani and Ringrose compete for a catchm but both players seem okay. Pani needs a bit of treatment after landing awkwardly. <\/p>\n

Italy win a penalty and Garbisi goes for touch, landing just about on the 22. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Ireland 5-3 Italy<\/p>\n

A few good phases from Italy but Osborne collects a kick before feeding it to Lowe, who collects his own kick to move the hosts up the pitch.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Ireland 5-3 Italy<\/p>\n

So close for the visitors! Pani collects a kick and then chips over the defenders, collecting it to skip past one tackle. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s taken down and he has support but he can\u2019t get enough height on the offload and it\u2019s knocked on! He would\u2019ve been in there.<\/p>\n

Lynagh is back on for the visitors. <\/p>\n

<\/a>PENALTY! Ireland 5-3 Italy<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a line-out from the restart and Italy win a penalty. Garbisi opts for the kick and slots it between the posts for three. <\/p>\n

Chris Wilson14 February 2026 14:37<\/p>\n

<\/a>TRY! Ireland 5-0 Italy<\/p>\n

TRY! Ireland have the opener!<\/p>\n

The hosts work it through the phases and Stuart McCloskey breaks the tackle before offloading superbly to Jamie Osborne, who is free to cross the line unchallenged. <\/p>\n

Prendergast misses the conversion and the lead is by five!<\/p>\n
