IRELAND GOT THEIR Six Nations back on track with an easy win over Conor Oโ€™Sheaโ€™s Italy in Rome on Saturday.

Sean Cronin had to watch from home as he rehabs an ill-timed hamstring injury. But the Leinster and Ireland hooker joined The42โ€˜s Murray Kinsella at Buskers On the Ball in Dublinโ€™s Temple Bar to analyse the 63-10 victory at the Stadio Olimpico.

We dissect Joe Schmidtโ€™s demands for details in areas like the ball carrierโ€™s work after the tackle, forwards passing the ball and the set-piece attack.

We also touch on the poor display from Conor Oโ€™Sheaโ€™s side, talk about the quality of this yearโ€™s Six Nations as we head into a break weekend, and briefly look ahead to France in round three.

Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

    They love to make Tiger/Spieth comparisons but Woods was 8 years on tour before he missed 3 cuts

    So what does our team for the olympics look like?
    Padraig, Rory, G Mac, Lowry, maybe even Dunne have legitimate shouts.
    All hitting it well right now and hopefully theyโ€™ll carry that through the summer.

    How times was that saidโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ.until he won the Honda classic! The Honda Classic is a massive event too with a field just as strong as youโ€™d see in the majors. Iโ€™m watching golf long enough now that you should never write someone off,especially harrington of all people!
