Sloppy play from O'Connell, doesnt claim the kick off. Italy gather possession on the Irish 22

Kelly Haimona to get us underway

Gutted for Seanie. hope it's nothing serious ??

I love Ireland and Italy has come a long way so I'm hoping for a good game

Had Sean O'Brien on my fantasy team

Dammit Sean

Teams out on the pitch, Irelands call ringing through the stadium. Kick off moments away

Ah seanie ffs!

Robbie D on the bench is a good man too!

Sean o brien injury in the warm up!!! Bollox!! Tommy's got to have a massive game!!
