much happier Rugby day today. Nice win by Ireland, marred only _slightly_ by that yellow card. #IREvITA

Not pretty but that’s Ireland’s piece of the play done. #IREvITA

#Rugby U20-WM #IREvITA 55¹:15 -- Bei den U20-Six Nations noch 23:22. ITA kann 20min mithalten, aber dann zu viele Lücken in Defense, zu wenig Entlastung in Offense, zu viele Penalties. ITA nicht sooo schlecht, aber IRE im Killermodus.

Ah, shite. #IREvITA #Rugby #Womens6Nations

Ireland will hardly win this! 😀 #IREvITA #Rugby #Womens6Nations

Poor decision making from Ireland not to take guaranteed points and Italy are clinical in attack. Momentum all with the Italians now #IREvITA #W6N #Rugby

36-0 in Lansdowne, #IREvITA. Italy just never looked like doing anything, even if their defence was impressive at times. And even with the victory entirely ensured, Ireland were still trying to score. Dominant performance. #6Nations

@Koochulainn It's a weird one, lots to be positive about but somehow feel a little flat after that. Probably because the scoreline should have been higher for us. Anyhoo, I'm sure I'll appreciate the positives more tomorrow. #IREvITA #Rugby #6Nations

I encourage all of you to look over the stats from that game. Italy don't look that bad until you see the metres made or tackles made stats (also lineout).

They're not getting turned over at the ruck, the scrum is holding up, they gave less penalties than Ireland,...

But if you don't get into the 22 you aren't scoring

Comprehensive. Clinical. Superb. A six-try masterclass shutout from the Irish at the Aviva against an outmatched Italy, who had their moments defensively but looked simply lethargic compared to the Irish, who resembled a mean green machine, especially that James Lowe try. #RugbyUnion #Rugby #6Nations #IREvITA

Ireland 36 Italy 0

You've got to feel sorry for the Italian goalkeeper.

Well.

Um.

Ho hum.

Certainly expected one of the best teams on the planet to win today, but seeing a zero on the score board just doesn't sit well.

Two weeks to wash this taste out, next match is Feb 25, Ireland v Wales - should be a highly entertaining match up.

It feels churlish to say so after a 36 - 0 victory. But that was a bit underwhelming, mainly due to the amount of scores we left after us. But hey ho, could be worse! #IREvITA #Rugby #6Nations

Fine move and an excellent finish by Nash. #IREvITA #Rugby #6Nations

The penalty count is becoming a bit of a worry. #IREvITA #Rugby #6Nations

I think that's a full 1/3 of Lineouts Italy has cocked up
