Ireland managed to turn the tables on Italy in their Six Nations match, thanks in part to a try from debutant Rob Baloucoune, who helped his team recover from a deficit at halftime.

The scoring breakdown for the match included tries from Osborne, Conan, and Baloucoune, with Crowley contributing a conversion and a penalty, while Italy's points came from a Nicotera try, converted by Garbisi, and two penalties from Garbisi.

Italy's scoring consisted of a try by Nicotera, which was converted by Garbisi, and two penalties kicked by Garbisi.

In a closely contested match, Ireland secured their first win of the Six Nations campaign, narrowly defeating Italy and preventing the Azzurri from achieving their first championship victory in Dublin.

Following a disappointing loss to France the previous week, Ireland initially took the lead when Jamie Osborne scored an unconverted try, capitalizing on a yellow card given to Italy's Louis Lynagh for a deliberate knock-on.

However, the momentum shifted in Italy's favor, and after Paolo Garbisi kicked a penalty, Ireland's Craig Casey received a yellow card, allowing Italy to gain an advantage that ultimately led to Giacomo Nicotera scoring a try and giving the Italians a halftime lead.

Three minutes into the second half, Ireland responded with a try from Jack Conan, but the score remained tied at 10-10 after Sam Prendergast missed the conversion attempt.

Ireland breathed a sigh of relief when a would-be try by Louis Lynagh was disallowed due to a forward pass, leaving the score still tied and setting the stage for a tense conclusion to the match.

As the game hung in the balance, Rob Baloucoune marked his Six Nations debut with a crucial try, and Jack Crowley's subsequent penalty gave Ireland a 10-point cushion.

Although Italy managed to close the gap, Ireland withstood a frenzied late surge from the visitors and ultimately dashed their hopes of a historic win.

A reaction to Ireland's come-from-behind victory over Italy in the Six Nations is available.

Having had nine days to reflect on their disappointing loss to France, during which coach Farrell criticized the team's lack of intent, Ireland were under pressure to deliver a strong performance and generate positive discussion around the team.

Italy, who had suffered several significant defeats in Dublin in the past, were determined to prevent Ireland from bouncing back and instead sought their first Six Nations win on Irish soil in 14 attempts.

Despite being down a player for 10 minutes after Lynagh's yellow card, Italy's defense held firm, allowing only five points to Ireland's struggling attack before Garbisi's penalty narrowed the gap to two points after 20 minutes.

As the first half progressed, Italy increased the pressure on Ireland, and after Craig Casey was sin-binned for a high tackle on Michele Lamaro, the Azzurri kicked to the corner and drove towards the Irish line, resulting in Nicotera's try.

Ireland's situation could have been even more dire if not for Michele Lamaro's knock-on after full-back Lorenzo Pani had intercepted a poor kick by Sam Prendergast and beaten the Irish fly-half.

The Ireland team consisted of Osborne, Baloucoune, Ringrose, McCloskey, Lowe, S Prendergast, Casey, Loughman, Sheehan, Clarkson, McCarthy, Ryan, Izuchukwu, Doris, and Conan.
