Ireland was impressive on the right path for a potential Grand Slam and historical six -nations crown of the third consumption after seeing himself outside of England and Scotland and held a resonating whale in order not to strain in Dublin in Dublin four in Dublin in Dublin.

Italy prediction against Ireland

Her total collapse in the second half against France was a really bitter pill to swallow and win her chances of winning and winning for Ireland, especially after half -time, especially after Dupont's injury, which dominated so much of the reception discourse.

But instead they were pushed aside in a way that has simply not happened to them in recent years. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how quickly you can group again after a few changes, whereby only a slim chance to win the title on the last day is still winning the title.

You need a big victory in Rome to have a chance before England and France play, and you would expect you to quickly approach an Italy outfit that has shown your attack qualities in the last games, but also how extremely vulnerable you stay.

The Azzurri will be motivated by the strong desire not to keep the wooden spoon again, and could keep it in close and physical early doors and probably achieve one or two striking attempts, but in the end we expect that they will be knocked off when the competition is put on again.

To win Ireland to at least 20 points.
