Italy-Irlanda: schedule, formations and how to see the game for six nations

By the last date of Six nations, Italy will receive a Ireland in Rome, in a duel in which the clover must win to continue with aspirations for the title. The meeting will be next Saturday, from 4:50 p.m. Disney+ and AM850 4.

How they arrive: After a great 2024 season for Gonzalo Quesada in his first season at the head of the driving of Italy, the harsh reality of this tournament marks that Azzurra still lacks a lot to try to make the desired quality leap.

The hard defeats against France and England reflect. They lost in the debut against Scotland and then twist the course of the defeat winning in their home to Wales, in the triumph that for now makes him avoid, for the second year, the wooden spoon.

Ireland was to be a tricampeón in Dublin, but in front of a French team that brings everything she touches. Despite losing his star, Antoine Dupont, in the first stage due to a serious injury, they ended up in the Aviva making his rival one of his worst defeats in a local condition of recent times.

What are they looking for: After the bitter drink of his last two productions, Italy returns to the Olympic of Rome with the illusion of cutting a long series of falls against Ireland.

The clover team went from being the great candidate to defend the title, to be relegated to third place in the positions of the six nations. Close a tournament in the best way will be the challenge of those led by Simon Easterby, during his visit to Rome.

The background: Part number 38 of the history, in which Italy could only win four times. The last Azzurra victory was twelve years ago, when in Rome they won by 22 to 5. Ireland has a streak of 15 triumphs followed over Italy: as visitors they imposed themselves in Rome in 2023, by 34 to 20.
