IRELAND v ITALY BETTING PREVIEW
The Irish coasted to a 50–7 victory over Canada and hardly broke a sweat to beat Romania 44–10 and move top of the table with a brace of bonus points. The Irish have scored 13 tries so far although those two wins did come against the teams who were always expected to struggle in this pool.

Robbie Henshaw is finally set to feature but Jared Payne and Rob Kearney are out through injury. Keith Earls moves from left wing to replace Payne at outside centre while Tommy Bowe retains his position on the right flank. In the pack, Jack McGrath is picked at prop with Cian Healy on the bench.

If the Azzurri give a repeat of their display in the first two rounds they are going to beaten out the gate by Ireland. They need to be fare more disciplined and attack-minded to stand a chance.
