What time and TV channel is Italy v Ireland? Stream info and team news for U20 Six Nations clash

Ireland's U20s are set to face Italy in round four of this year's Six Nations.

Head coach Richie Murphy's side opened their campaign with an impressive 31-point win over Scotland, and backed that up with a 28-point victory over Wales.

However, they go into this clash with the Italians off the back of a defeat to England last week.

Speaking ahead of the game, Murphy said: “We’ve had to dust ourselves down following the disappointment of last week and the focus of the group has been really good as we bid to bounce back against Italy.
