In advance of Saturday’s Six Nations clash with Italy, Peter O’Mahony could not help but chuckle at the botched rendition of Ireland’s Call.

A downbeat rendition of the Irish national anthem got things started in Rome on Saturday.
O’Mahony was pictured smirking as he attempted to sing along with the pace set by the band.
Six players who flopped in round three of the Six Nations
We take a look at four players who failed to perform in today’s 2023 Six Nations round three action.
#1. Grant Gilchrist (Scotland)
Planet Rugby 2/10: “Sent off for a high and dangerous tackle on Anthony Jelonch from a kick-off. He could have easily done better, poor technique and poor execution..”
The Offside Line 3/10: “Unlucky to pick up a [wholly legitimat] red card in seventh minute, careless rather than reckless.”
Rugby Pass 1/10: “Close to tears as he was sent off on seven minutes for a high shot on Jelonch.”
#2. Bundee Aki (Ireland)
Balls 5/10: “The Italians took advantage of a defensive weakness in the 13 channel (5 missed tackles).”
Rugby pass 6/10: “As pointed out by Jerry Flannery in RTE’s analysis, the Italians successfully targeted and exploited the 13 channel between the Connachtman and Lowe on the left wing. Fumbled a try that may well have settled the contest with 20 or so minutes to go. A truly mixed bag of a performance.”
Planet Rugby 6/10: “Great with the ball, not so without.”
