Last year, Ireland faced a nerve-wracking challenge against Italy after wins over Wales and France. Despite stand-in captain James Ryan’s early try, Italy stayed competitive trailing by just seven points entering the final 10 minutes.
Mack Hansen’s late try secured Ireland’s victory serving as a wake-up call. As they face Italy again, Ireland riding high after defeating France makes six changes with Caelan Doris as captain.
Head coach Andy Farrell expects a challenging match against a pragmatic and forward-thinking Italian side under new coach Gonzalo Quesada.
Memories of last year’s close encounter emphasize the importance of avoiding complacency for Ireland.
