# Rugby: Irish flyhalf Sam Prendergast paid the price for his under-par performance against France last week when he dropped to the bench for tomorrow’s Six Nations clash with Italy in Rome. He is replaced by Jack Crowley, who played in all the defending champion’s matches last year. Interim head coach Simon Easterby made another five changes to the team that was humiliated by France. Ireland is currently third on the log behind France and England, but still has a chance for a third straight title.
