Ireland v Italy: Kick off time, TV channel and team news ahead of opening World Cup warm-up match. All you need to know guide by DonoghueEamon
Italy ended a seven-year wait for a Six Nations win against Wales in 2022 and then beat Australia last November. But they’ve lost their seven games since. Kieran Crowley’s team were competitive, and at times brilliant, during the most recent Six Nations despite another wooden spoon at the end of it.
According to Matt Williams these improved Italian performances had their genesis in 2016 when Conor O’Shea took control of the national team and brought in another Irish man, Stephen Aboud, to drive the elite player and coach development pathways.This is the fourth time in the last six World Cup cycles that Ireland have hosted Italy in a warm-up game, the exceptions being 2011 and 2015, when the two countries were drawn in the same pool.
