OTB Rugby · Ireland dominate in Galway | "It was an amazing homecoming for her!" - Grace Davitt | Women's Six Nations · 18 Apr 2026 podcast

There was whole pods, but they worked really hard to get into position early.

You've seen for one of the tries, they used the backs up the right-hand side.

And then two phases later, next thing they had numbers to spread the ball wide to Robin O'Connor, where you're like, where have all these players come from?

Because against England, they may be overcommitted in the rucks and suddenly there was nobody to attack.

So that was a huge difference for me.

But the work rate of the ball, when you're here and you can scan to the whole pitch, you're seeing the likes of Cleaning Maloney, McDonald getting up out of the line.

Aoife Wafer had a really good game, even though only on for 50 minutes, but the amount of tackles she made, offloads to try, some big carries off scrums.

So I think everyone on that squad really stepped up this week.

Yeah, how much was this an improved Irish performance versus obviously Italy being a weaker side?

I think that will be at the top of a lot of people's minds when we look at going into France next week, which will be a step up again.

Well, I suppose there's jitters every time off the post-World Cup hangover.

You know, you've Italy is maybe down on a bit of confidence, didn't get to a quarterfinal, didn't have a good World Cup.

But they stood their own last week against France in that first half.

It was 7-5 last week.

So you were expecting Italy to come here all guns blazing.

Yes, there was a couple of changes.

And I think Madia actually at 10 made a huge difference coming in in that second half.

Now,

Obviously, he had the wind with him in the second half, got a lot more possession.

But to me, off that score last week, you'd say this is a really good Italian team.
