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
A dramatic reversal within reach but not to be. #IREvITA
Ireland will hardly win this! #IREvITA #Rugby #Womens6Nations
@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.
I think that's a full 1/3 of Lineouts Italy has cocked up
