The Irish Will Be Looking Forward to the World Cup in Rome on Sunday Night

Gary Ringrose has been ruled out with an injury picked up against France. Ireland will miss his defensive qualities at 13 as well that's probably where they'll they'll miss the most. I think even if they had a few more of their front liners who are missing it probably would have been a closer game than we're used to anyway. Jimmy O'Brien for example now gets a chance in the match day 23 which wouldn't have come his way otherwise. Italy still have pretty glaring weaknesses in their game particularly around how to get out there on half of times and they are a little bit naive with that ambition to play from every corner of the pitch.
