  4. Ireland 'worthy winners' - Coghlan

    Ireland 29-8 Italy

    Ireland were worthy winners. They dominated possession, they dominated territory and they dominated set-piece. They just played a clever game. Italy didn't use the wind to their advantage in the first half but all credit goes to Ireland, this was a big win for them,

    There it is.

    The final whistle goes in Cork and five-try Ireland have that first Six Nations victory.

    It was a solid performance from Greg McWilliams' side who were determined to put on a good show after beginning with defeats by Wales and France.

    Ireland 29-8 Italy

    That's a lovely piece of opportunism from substitute Katie O’Dwyer as she grabs a try with three minutes remaining.

    The ball bounced up after a line-out and she showed great hands to gather it and get over.

    Nice way to finish off what has been a good evening's work for Ireland.

    That's not the debut that Aoife Wafer will have wanted as she is shown a yellow card for dangerous play.

  10. Better game management from Ireland - Coghlan

    Ireland 24-3 Italy

    This has been better game management from Ireland than in their first two matches. They are playing the ball in the right areas. It's a new, fresh Irish side but they still want and need to get results.

    This was the penalty try award that put the hosts 24-3 up.

    What a start to the second half for Ireland.

    A nice little kick by Kat Italyhryn Dane was gathered by the ever-alert Eve Higgins and the Italians were never catching her as she crossed the line for her team's third try of the match.

    Nicole Cronin found her shooting boots too to slot the extras.

    It's looking good for the hosts in Cork.

  19. Half-time

    Ireland 10-3 Italy

    That's a pretty good first half for Ireland after falling behind to that early penalty.

    They have been measured in their response and have looked threatening - and will no doubt feel they should have another five points on the board after Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe's try was disallowed.

    It means that tries from full-back Lucy Mulhall and hooker Neve Jones have Greg McWilliams' side 10-3 ahead at the break as they search for their first win of this Six Nations campaign.

    That's superb work from Ireland's pack, producing a great maul that helps Neve Jones get over for the second try of the game just before half-time.

    Nicole Cronin should have done better with the conversion but puts it just wide.
