Ireland rally to beat Italy in Six Nations thriller
Gulf Today
|February 15, 2026
Ireland rebounded from an opening hammering by France to edge a gallant Italy 20-13 in their Six Nations match at Lansdowne Road on Saturday.
-
The Irish were often second-best in the match, trailing 10-5 at halftime, but two second-half tries by Jack Conan and Robert Baloucoune got them over the line.
Ireland face a tough away trip against England next Saturday while the Italians play France in Lille.
Ireland, thankfully for the home fans, started in much more positive fashion than in Paris, on an historic day as Hollie Davidson became the first woman to referee a men's Six Nations match.
Louis Lynagh was one of the standout performers for Italy against the Scots last week when they won 18-15, but he blotted his copybook when Davidson sin-binned him for a deliberate knock-on.

For those of us who grew up after the 1960s—at least those of us who are white and were raised in rural Minnesota—it seemed, perhaps, that the battle for civil rights had been fought and won, and that we, lucky us, didn’t have to inconvenience ourselves with it.
