O’Connell Ready For Improving Azzurri

Paul O’Connell recognises the improvements in Italy’s game since the start of the RBS 6 Nations as he prepares to lead Ireland against the Azzurri on Saturday. “Their pack is their biggest strength. They’ve probably added to that a bit, they’re playing a bit more with ball in hand. Their attack has been a lot better in the last two games, they’re beginning to mix it both ways,” he said.
