Highlights: Italy v Ireland

Ireland were made to work for their BP victory this afternoon. They went up by two tries in the first half as Roux and Stockdale went over. Italy hit back with opportunistic scores from Padovani and Morisi to leave them up at the break. Ireland improved in the 2nd half to get their much needed victory. Keith Earls and Conor Murray went over for scores that came after a large deal of hard work from the men in green. They jump into 3rd place in the table and await the visit of France in Round 4. Italy will stay at the foot of the table and their long losing streak continues.
