IRELAND WILL DESERVEDLY be pleased with some of what they showed in attack against Italy yesterday, even while acknowledging that their opponents were poor.
Andy Farrell’s side scored six tries and definitely should have had another one through Iain Henderson, while they came close on another couple of occasions.
A 38-point winning margin exceeded the level of Ireland’s favouritism before this game and Farrell will feel his squad has regained some momentum and confidence, even if there is still important work to do in the next fortnight before facing Scotland.
