    READERS' FORUM: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Six Nations Round Five encounter between Italy and Ireland in Rome.

    Ireland have a glimmer of hope that they can retain their Six Nations crown on Saturday as they try to bounce back from a painful defeat to title favourites France.

    Simon Easterby's team have to beat Italy and hope results go their way in order to win an unprecedented third straight title, as they sit third in the table and two points behind leaders France.
