Ireland beat Italy 26-16 in their Six Nations clash in Rome yesterday, but it was far from a convincing performance.
Despite recovering from a half-time deficit to secure the bonus point, Ireland were scrappy and committed numerous handling errors as well as losing five line-outs over the course of the game.
In contrast, Wales topped the table against England on Saturday, recording a stunning 21-13 victory in Cardiff.
What are the reasons for Ireland's difficult championship, and what do they need to do to improve?
Neil Francis and Liam Toland discussed this.
