Discipline is the only difference here. They have actually tried to play some rugby, where as Ireland haven't. But the Ireland's discipline and defence is too good where as Italy have no discipline.
It's a poor form of gatland ball... Keetley can't even organise a big lump to run hard it seems. Their tempo is way off, Italy just need some more accuracy and could win this really! Schmidt needs to change the 10. I think this game plan could actually work today given a decent 10 and a higher tempo
