Right from the start, the crowd felt nervous and the team responded, they look nervous.
Italy are coming at them breakdown and defensively so Ireland will have to match them. The good news for Andy Farrell is that he has some very experienced players off the bench which will help left them.
Farrell has done his talking, now for players to react
"You've got to show a bit of fight and intent, and we lacked a bit of that in the first half," said a stunned looking Andy Farrell moments after his team traipsed off the pitch following the worrying 36-14 loss to France in which he added they were "second best by quite a stretch".
A damning indictment of his team but the boss is fully aware that it's also on the coaches to get their side to the pitch of the battle.
Ireland were second best across the board in round one, conceding five tries to two (acoring theirs when the game was effectively over), missing 35 tackles to 21, conceding six penalties to four, making just five linebreaks to 13 from France.

Italy vs. Ireland Live Score & Rugby Updates | Italians Lead At Half
Ireland Rugby returns to Aviva Stadium at 9:10 a.m. ET on Saturday seeking to halt a rare slide when it hosts Italy in Round 2 of the Six Nations. The Irish are trying to avoid only their second 0-0-2 start in championship history after a 36-14 loss to France on Feb. 5.
History favors Ireland, which owns a 34-4 record in the series, has won 12 straight meetings and has never lost to Italy in Dublin. Still, last year’s five-point Irish win was the closest margin between the teams since 2011.
Italy arrives with momentum after an 18-15 victory over Scotland, powered by the tackle-heavy Cannone brothers.
