Overview

Italy v Ireland (Kick-off 2.15pm). Jill Douglas presents all the action from both teams' third match of the championship, held at Stadio Olimpico. Italy lost their opening two matches at home to France and away to England, but will have found positives in their performances. However, the odds are stacked against them when they face Andy Farrell's men, who produced a strong display in an away win against Wales in Cardiff, before ending the French's run of seven straight Six Nations triumphs with a victory in Dublin. With analysis from Brian O'Driscoll, Rory Best and Maggie Alphonsi, commentary by Nick Mullins, Gordon D'Arcy and David Flatman, pitchside input from Lawrence Dallaglio, and reports from Gabriel Clarke.
