IRELAND have done their job and beat Italy as they look to win a THIRD consecutive Six Nations title.
The Italians took a shock lead before the Men in Green hit back.
Italy were a man down for much of the second half as Ireland took a commanding lead – but the Irish narrowly squeaked over the line as they faced immense pressure in the closing stages.
Ireland have won four of five matches in the Six Nations this year but need both France and England to lose to win another title.
