Wales vs England LIVE: Result and reaction from Six Nations grudge match in Cardiff

No try - Bundee Aki lost control on the floor!

It had all looked good for Ireland as Aki rose back to his feet to cover the last two yards to the line, but having been dropped to his knees by a low tackle, the centre lost control briefly. The TMO has three or four more looks at it to make sure, but that is pretty evident - a knock on, no try, and an Italian reprieve.

Sharp handling in the wide confines and Bundee Aki bashes over for his second!

Or does he?...

This feels very much like the Italy-France game so far - hoping to avoid the sort of nervy finish that Fabien Galthie’s side endured, Andy Farrell sends for his closers: on come Dan Sheehan and Peter O’Mahony to strengthen the pack.

Sheehan nails his first lineout.

Safely pushed between them from left of centre. A clean strike from Paolo Garbisi - Italy narrow the gap.

Still no score yet in this second half, and there’s not one forthcoming here - Italy are tackled twice behind the gainline and Irish hands scoop back the ball.

Ireland set off on the counter, but are soon called back - a penalty against an angry Andrew Porter, who ghad just leaned into Juan Ignacio Brex to prevent the centre sliding on to a loose ball.

Now we may have those first points of the half - Paolo Garbisi has the tee in his hands and is eyeing the uprights.

Eek - Ange Capuozzo runs into Stuart McCloskey’s clothesline, and that’s not very nice at all. Capuozzo was on the outside arc and had the run on the significantly larger centre.

Does this warrant further consultation? Not according to the officials, who are content with just a penalty. That looked quite forceful.

Ryan Baird is on for Ireland as Italy kick up the right touchline.

Stolen at the front! A telegraphed throw from Ireland at the lineout, but a vital intervention from Italy, Federico Ruzza springing up to bat it back with a big flap of his right paw. Ireland compound the error with a penalty.

Now there is a penalty advantage for the Ireland attack to work with. And they’ll take the penalty after Mack Hansen is lumberjacked at the thighs, the wing chopped very much in half.

Prodded into the corner.

Better from Italy, marginally - a free kick rather than a penalty. Ball chucked against laces, and off Ireland go without a thought.

That was much better from Italy - more intelligent in picking their moments to shoot off the line as Ireland tried to go wide, and beefy enough in the tight to stop their opponents from sucking bodies in. Danilo Fischetti, who has impressed as ever, made several key interventions - the loosehead really is an oustanding all around prop.
