Ireland take the next step on their quest for Grand Slam glory this weekend as they travel to Rome to face Italy.
Andy Farrell's side showed their class in an enthralling win over France a fortnight ago and are tipped to secure a clean sweep of wins as they look to cement their place at the top of the World Rugby rankings with the World Cup just months away.
They now face a side that they have beaten in all but one of their 23 meetings in the Six Nations, but there could be a surprise in store after the Italians pushed world number twos France to within minutes of a shock defeat in the opening round before losing to England at Twickenham a week later.
