The first minutes begin with an observation round. Italy does not allow itself to be overtaken.

In the fourth minute, Carbury’s try ended Irish’s first big highlight. With the conversion, Ireland took a 7-0 lead.

Recovering the ball, Italy could not break the Irish defense, let alone the permit. Ireland returned to the opposite camp on penalties. A ball was snatched, but the ball was returned to the Italians following an Irish foul. This time it was an Italian penalty.

In the 10th minute, a new Irish error gives the Italians a new penalty touch in the Irish camp. It is well captured by the Transalpine Deployment, but the Italians are punished on the ground.

The first half ended with another Irish attempt in the 38th minute, with captain Peter O’Malley (24-3) scoring, but Paulo Garbisi also scored three extra points for Italy after an offside at Gibson Park. We remain 24-6 in this first half.
