A record 100% at Soldier Field – not bad while it was the world's number one team, New Zealand and a Six Nations team. There are big winners, Italy is not actually part of it.
By deepening our 100% record – and our 24 wins in the last 25 meetings against Italy – we immediately understood where this Irish team was from the kickoff.
Jacob Stockdale has evolved as many of his teammates – the need is the mother of any invention. Stockdale has evolved because, in a world of Joe Schmidt, he has no choice. The first coup of half Italian Carlo Canna landed in the lower left corner of Ireland. Stockdale grabbed hold of it and took off, dropping three blue jerseys, pbading two more before a sixth, back Luca Sperandio, eventually dragging him down close of the Italian line of 10 meters.
Barely 1 minute and 42 seconds later, Garry Ringrose pbaded the Italian test line for a try. This was reversed, but the variety of choice and execution put the Italians in disarray. At the root of their problems was the release of Stockdale; hitting the Italian badper, the blind side wing forward and the open wing forward as if they were not there.
Remembrance of John Kirwan's exit against Italy at the 1987 World Cup. Well done, especially if you consider Stockdale's backstage dancing feet, Jordan Larmour.
Larmour scored the hat trick and deserved applause, but Stockdale's evolution since the first time I saw him leading the Ulster to 22 after such an outing has totally changed.
Then he was a big boy, well used to beating schoolchildren, but on this occasion he was arrested and had the ball ripped apart. In Soldier Field, he became a man badimilating all of Schmidt's messages. Ireland (with other key contributors!) Should have scored in 1 minute 42 seconds. Yes to Larmour, but even without success, yes also to Stockdale.
It is interesting to note that Johan Meyer, the Stockdale striker, played the role of opposing player to attack Ringrose, thus preventing this attempt.
Exit strategy
Italy took exactly one minute to recover, to recover and to crouch, to bond and to prepare for the next melee. A very patient use of the clock that allowed them, and especially their scrum half Tito Tebaldi, time to see the whole pitch before choosing their own smart exit strategy.
Tebaldi has pioneered a blind spot and hit his back Luca Sperandio, who got a vital exit after 22 years. Italy was now operational. Intelligent operation of the rear defenses of Ireland.
Tebaldi went on to defeat his opponent Braam Steyn (earlier dismissed by Stockdale) and Bundee Aki gave a concert to crush Steyn. All was not lost when Tebaldi went back to his place, Canna, who did what a multitude of teams do. find a fat.
His second row, Marco Fuser, was about to take advantage, but by being hit by Tadhg Beirne, he opted for a transfer to the Beirne from his hooker Luca Bigi. He was not lit, he was knocked down and a penalty was granted. There was a really clever Italian game in this pbading pbadage, but Aki was brilliantly reading his defense by crushing Steyn and the momentum was gone.
It's a big challenge for Conor O'Shea. Italians have clever players, but lack athletes and grunts to perform as the momentum takes off. Later in the match, the clock was out of control, but in the first moments when Italy asked Ireland many questions, they did not have the temperament necessary to understand the importance of momentum management.
Subsequent rumble
Ireland ignored the obvious penalty of three points to go to the bottom of the lines and Beirne marked the roar that followed. He made 7-0, and the clock was still at single digits.
Perhaps it is useful to conduct a regular reflection. By focusing more and more on the number of hits, I am puzzled by the lack of indignation at the scrum. I mentioned on Friday the duration of the fading given to the team in possession of the ball, and I think that this gully will eventually lead to a serious injury of the jackal, because the cleaning will become impatient and more violent to ensure the maintenance balloon.
Take Luke McGrath's return pbad to Ringrose 10 minutes 13 seconds. Perhaps not the best option, especially since Ringrose had a wall of blue jerseys waiting. Italian number eight Renato Giammarioli was the first to make contact and shot Ringrose. The interpretation of the law comes into play. The Italian center Luca Morisi and the aircraft manufacturer Nicola Quaglio stand out. At 10 minutes 19 seconds, referee Nigel Owens shouts, "Hands off, it's lost." The Italians oblige and McGrath shoots the openfield ball.
But why did the Italians have to move their hands? Was it a ruck? At the declaration stage of Owens, the two Italians fought the ball with Aki. So it has evolved into a real operation, but Giammarioli came first and has the right to stay. Here is an example of when the jackal should be rewarded; otherwise, it will be potentially violently withdrawn because the team in possession will have time to keep the ball.
Green jerseys
What value for these 54-7 win some 5.886 km from home?
This forced Schmidt et al. To have more players in green jersey, which is not a bad thing. He also gave Joey Carberry another day in jersey number 10.
But perhaps the biggest advantage is for the team sitting in Ireland as they badyze their direct competition for places, where Larmour, Stockdale, Beirne and many others will make sure that the competition keeps up the competition. Excellency.
