Ireland secures a hard-fought 20-13 victory over Italy in the Six Nations at Aviva Stadium. Trailing 10-5 at halftime, Ireland faces pressure after Giacomo Nicotera's try and Paolo Garbisi's penalty. Jamie Osborne opens the scoring, but the hosts struggle with cohesion. Jack Conan and debutant Robert Baloucoune score second-half tries to push Ireland ahead. Fly-half Sam Prendergast has a tough outing, missing two conversions, while replacement Jack Crowley slots a conversion and a penalty. Italy, buoyed by last week's win over Scotland, nearly pulls off a shock draw in a tense finale. Ireland's performance raises concerns about their status among the world's elite, especially after a heavy loss to France in Round One. Head coach Andy Farrell makes six changes, seeking improvement ahead of next week's clash with England.
