Just finished watching it. Decent game from ireland but Italy are a shambles and going backwards. They gave away 18 penalties I think.


It was a good workout though.

Don't get the talk of players not having enough games to be picked.

Look at Gabisi who was picked so he can grow quickly  at international now not in two years time which will also help him improve for club level.

If Harry is good enough stick him in.  It's not like he wouldn't be protected by the Irish pack.  What's the point on using two years on other players to we expect to be surpassed by Harry before the next WC thus we will be sending yet another inexperienced fly half to the WC.
