Ireland kick off their second Six Nations fixture this Saturday as, for the first time in 27 years, their match a fortnight ago in France was called off due to a frozen pitch. The postponement has given Ireland additional time to prepare for the rest of their campaign which begins with a home tie against Italy.
Declan Kidney’s side are still coming to terms with their last-gasp home defeat to Wales, but have never lost to Italy in the Six Nations. A foregone conclusion in Dublin on Saturday, then?
