Italy coach Conor O'Shea expecting high-scoring Six Nations clash with Ireland

Italy coach Conor O'Shea is expecting a high scoring Six Nations clash at the Aviva Stadium tomorrow.

The former Ireland full back is hoping to create an upset against his old team, in response to last week's heavy defeat at home to England.

Ireland scored nine tries in Rome last year, but O'Shea says the Azzuri have no intention of sitting back in Dublin.

Both teams hold their eve of match Captain's run on the Lansdowne Road pitch today.
