Hello and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's live coverage of Ireland v Italy at the Aviva Stadium. Having only recovered from Sexton's heroics last week the Irish fans will be expecting some big things from this test. Joe Schmidt goes with an unchanged backline and a couple of changes in the pack. Dan Leavy comes in at seven and Jack McGrath gets the nod ahead of Healy. Larmour looks to get his first cap as he lines up in the replacements and should get some game time today. For Italy, it'll be a tough test having been at the brunt of a strong England performance last week. Join us in 10 for live updates throughout.

COYBIG. Looking forward to see Larmour in action today.

For me it only says they've played 1
