The Counter Ruck: Italian demolition job with Gerry Thornley and John O’Sullivan

After Ireland put Italy to the sword in the Aviva Stadium, the panel discusses standout performances from Jack Crowley and James Lowe, Ireland’s impressive defensive record and the latest disappointing Italian performance.

We also talk through Wales being more competitive than previously thought, the low standard of play across the board so far in the tournament and the infamous TMO decision that left Scotland reeling. With the Six Nations taking a break this weekend, Gerry and John pick their player of the opening rounds of action.
