What time and channel is Ireland v Italy on? TV info, team news, betting odds and more for the match

Ireland have their first World Cup warm-up match against Italy at the Aviva this weekend.

Joe Schmidt's side have been putting the reps in at Carton House for the past number of weeks as the training squad try to earn their place on the plane to Japan.

They face very familiar opponents in Italy who always guarantee a bruising contest as Ireland's fringe players look to impress.
