Not a bad half... never going to be an easy task. Need to keep up the hard work and grind out the win #IREvITA

A tense match #IREvITA. Really hoping for a #IRE win but Italy have stepped up their game today. It'll be close in 2nd half I reckon.

#IREvITA Ireland only capitalising on Italy errors. Not much of our own making.

Murray must communicate with the back of the maul better when defenders come through. #IREvITA

Jesus my nerves! This is going to be close, brutal match! #IREvITA

Enjoying this refereeing. Firm, but keeping the play going where he can. #ShoulderToShoulder #IREvITA

Ireland seem happy to sit back and soak up anything Italy can offer. Working fine so far but won't work against better teams #IREvITA

Ireland, you're better than this!! #IREvITA

Don't think France will be too worried looking at the first half #IREvITA

— David McCullagh (@mcculld) October 4, 2015

#IREvITA lads stick on the afterburners, pin back the ears/whatever's needed, need a better performance than this ????

Disappointing first half from #ireland. Italy dominating possession. #IREvITA #rwc2015

Not exactly an awe-inspiring first half by the Irish side.... hopefully 2nd will be better! #IREvITA

Need to tighten up second half and bring a bit more intensity #RWC2015 #IREvITA #ShoulderToShoulder

— Fiona O' Gorman (@FionaOGorman) October 4, 2015

Def not a 1st half appearance to be happy about. Sloppy #rwc2015 #ire #IREvITA

— Sarah Fitzpatrick (@sarahfitz89) October 4, 2015

This seems to be the general consensus so far...

Not happy with that performance ? #IREvITA
