How To Watch Italy Vs Ireland

Here is our guide on how to watch Italy Vs Ireland in the Six Nations on Super Saturday – including TV channel and livestream information.

Ireland saw their title hopes severely damaged after a 42-27 defeat to France in Dublin last weekend.

The reigning champions can still win a record third straight Six Nations crown, but will need both France and England to slip up.

Italy have been much better competitors in recent years, but will be disappointed to have only won one of their four games so far.

Should they fail to get any points from Saturday’s game, they could still finish bottom even if Wales lose to England – owing to the bonus points system.

According to the best UK rugby betting sites, Ireland would have no trouble in Rome.

The boys in Green are currently 1/12 favourites, with Italy at 21/1.
