"Completely different game here at the Aviva Stadium after the introduction of Ireland's replacements, with Jack Crowley having a major say in upping Ireland's tempo."
"'It's been commanding stuff from the Corkman who came on to a huge roar, but he's been ably assisted by Jamison Gibson-Park. 20-10 up, they're in control on the scoreboard but you wouldn't write Italy off just yet.'"
The introduction of Ireland's replacements shifted the match momentum at the Aviva Stadium. Jack Crowley came on and immediately raised Ireland's tempo and influence. Crowley arrived to a huge roar and produced commanding play. Jamison Gibson-Park assisted Crowley effectively, combining to control possession and tempo. Ireland moved into a 20-10 lead and held scoreboard control after the substitutions. Despite Ireland's stronger display and apparent control, Italy still retained a realistic chance and could not be completely ruled out in the contest.
