The injured Leinster man joined Murray Kinsella to talk about the facile win in Rome.

IRELAND GOT THEIR Six Nations back on track with an easy win over Conor O’Shea’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 The42‘s Murray Kinsella at Buskers On the Ball in Dublin’s Temple Bar to analyse the 63-10 victory at the Stadio Olimpico.

We dissect Joe Schmidt’s demands for details in areas like the ball carrier’s work after the tackle, forwards passing the ball and the set-piece attack.

We also touch on the poor display from Conor O’Shea’s side, talk about the quality of this year’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.

    Has a chance to lead NI to the euros finals in 2021. Probably found it hard to turn down. He done well at St Jonnstone

    Isn’t this the lad that wore the UDR poppy a few years ago. Can’t see many Catholics rushing to play for Northern with this guy in charge.

    @eric nelligan: We live in hope. Michael O’Neill did too good a job of softening the divide for my terribly biased liking!
