IRELAND vs ITALY WOMEN'S SIX NATIONS 2020

- Ireland have won 12 of their 13 encounters with Italy in the Women’s Six Nations (L1), however their solitary defeat came in their last meeting with the Italians (27-29 in 2019).

- Ireland have won each of their six home games against Italy in the Women’s Six Nations, each of those victories coming by double figure margins and by an average margin of 22 points.

- Ireland come into this fixture having won both of their home games in the 2020 Women’s Six Nations and they will be aiming to record a 100% win rate at home in a campaign for the first time since 2016 when they defeated Wales, Italy, and Scotland in Dublin.

- Italy have lost just two of their last nine games in the Women’s Six Nations (W6 D1), losing only to England in 2019 and France earlier this year, this after suffering defeat in eight straight games immediately before that run.

- 38% (3/8) of Ireland’s tries in the Women’s Six Nations this year have come in the opening 20 minutes of matches, the highest ratio of any nation, with only England (7) scoring more overall in that period; in contrast, Italy are yet to cross for a try in the opening quarter of a match, with each of their four tries coming in the two 20 minute periods before (2) or after (2) halftime.

- Italy have averaged 55% territory in their two games in this year’s Women’s Six Nations, a tally only England can better (57%), meanwhile Ireland have recorded the lowest share of territory in 2020 (40%).

- Italy have won six turnovers per game in the 2020 Women’s Six Nations, more than any other side, while Ireland (16) have conceded the fewest turnovers per game of any nation this year.

- Ireland have averaged 140 ball carries per game in the Women’s Six Nations this year, more than any other team and five more than Italy (135) who have averaged the second most; individually, only Jade Konkel (52) has made more carries than Ireland’s Anna Caplice (47) this year.

- Ireland’s Beibhinn Parsons has recorded an average carry distance of 17 metres from her 15 carries in this year’s Women’s Six Nations, the best rate of any player.

- Of players to attempt 4+ place kicks in the 2020 Women’s Six Nations, only Jessy Tremouliere (81%) boasts a better goal kicking success rate than Italy’s Michela Sillari (80% - 4/5).
