Ireland overcome dogged Welsh display to keep Triple Crown hopes alive | Post-match reaction | Ireland 27-17 Wales

It worked.

It worked in the end, yeah.

Indo Sport

Yeah, I think we should give Italy a lot of credit.

Indo Sport

I think they will leave here this evening gutted that they didn't get a huge missed opportunity from an Italian point of view.

Indo Sport

I think back to Menancello's forward pass to Lui Laina for the chalked-off try.

Indo Sport

I think back to Menancello's knock-on underneath the posts.

Ireland got out of jail here big time today, and I think...

Indo Sport

As I said, when Italy are the ones leaving, they'll be the ones who feel like that was a chance for us to get a history-making win.

Indo Sport

And then if that had happened, we'd be having a very different discussion now.

Indo Sport

So I think that's important in terms of how we're going to frame this discussion that we're about to have.

Indo Sport

You asked Rudd there, Sinead, where was it on the level of response?

Indo Sport

Overall, I don't think we could say that that was the response that Andy Farrell was hoping for.

Indo Sport

I agree with what you said, Rod.

Indo Sport
Ireland survive serious Italy scare | Post-match reaction | Ireland 20-13 Italy | Six Nations 2026 πŸ‰

I think he did get a response from certain players who came in, but I still thought a lot of the big players just didn't really deliver, particularly across the league.

Indo Sport

the 80 minutes obviously we can get on and talk about that some of whom actually were taken off um early i think that is still a concern and again it was the guys a bit like the bench last week who came on and albeit some of them were experienced i thought the bench again today was very good you mentioned uh jack crowley obviously we'll get on and talk about that a little bit more

But I thought Tom O'Toole did very well when he came on off the bench at Loosehead to help lock out the scrum.

Indo Sport
Ireland survive serious Italy scare | Post-match reaction | Ireland 20-13 Italy | Six Nations 2026 πŸ‰

I know a lot of the penalties were coming on the tight head side, but someone who knows a lot more about scrummaging just said to me that that was due to the pressure that was coming on on the Loosehead side.

Indo Sport

And I thought it was telling when Tom O'Toole came on and fair play to him because he hasn't got a lot of experience at this level on the loose head side.

Indo Sport

But what a feather in the cap for Italy to have caused the Irish scrum so many problems.

And I thought Edwin Adogbo as well.
