CJ Stander bullocks over the line from close range, but was there a knock-on from Ronan Kelleher at the end of the previous phase?
We are going to the TMO in the truck to find out. Romain Poite is working the tape recorder...

Italy 10-34 Ireland
Italy give away another penalty in the front row. Ireland have a quick chat about a scrum-down. But Ronan Kelleher opts to tap and go instead!
Sin-bin - Giosue Zilocchi
Italy 10-34 Ireland
Replacement forward Giosue Zilocchi has a dirty great paw in the honey pot, preventing Jamison Gibson-Park from whipping the ball away from the base to a queue of green-shirted try-scorers.
That is a yellow. Stonewall. Italy are a man down and pinned back on their own line...

Steve in Eastbourne: The only reason why Italy is still in the Six Nations is because Rome is a nicer place to go for the weekend than Tbilisi! Nothing wrong of course with Tbilisi..

Former Ireland fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra & Radio Ulster
Italy do have the ambition to move the ball, and they can do it well but today when they have had their opportunities they have done it badly.

Italy fall fouls of referee Mathieu Raynal once more.
David Sisi takes the line-out cleanly, but Italy are done for a truck-and-trailer offence, blocking off Ireland's pack before Sisi had returned to earth.

Rob Young: Not sure why all the talk of Italy losing their place in the 6N. Who would replace them? Italy are rubbish but would still beat Georgia every time...
Paul Williams: I think with Italy in the Six Nations who finishes bottom i.e Italy, they should play next rank team someone like Georgia in 2-leg match for a place in the tournament. If Italy win they deserve to be there.
Andy C: All the talk of dropping Italy form the 6 nations again but very little talk of any alternatives!

Anon: Re Derrick Roberts - perhaps you and 14 mates would like to take them on and show us all how easy it is. Show some respect!

Hope you're right Jamie, a late surge from Italy would be fun!

Former Ireland fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra & Radio Ulster
Ireland just kept working around the corner in contrast with Italy in Ireland's 22, it was more about the power of the ball carriers which Italy just could not stop.
Ireland's body language says exactly where they are at the moment.
Converted try - Italy 10-34 Ireland
CJ Stander (Con Sexton)
And it was of course the right decision.
Ireland work through the phases from short range and it's CJ Stander who eventually barges his way over.
Bonus point secured and two more points added by Johnny Sexton.

Andy O'Neill: The biggest breakdown issue is the player in the ground being allowed to roll and place the ball. It used to be a skill to tackle your man and turn him to your side. Then the ruck and counter ruck happened.
Derrick Roberts: Things more difficult than beating Italy in the Six Nations: 1: counting to two. List ends.
Alan: Re ' the point of Italy'.....I think the San Marino comment is a bit harsh. Maybe substituting Scotland or Ireland would be a more reasonable comparison. Italy are getting there - they just need to make the same connections to the Southern Hemisphere players that most of the other nations have done......discuss.

The score reflects Ireland's dominance, Andy Farrell will be pleased with large parts of that first half. They created opportunities, and finished them off.
You want top quality competitive games, but Italy have been given a bit of hope.
