Heaslip: Beating Italy is all that matters now
Such is the nature of this tournament that a losing bonus point for Ireland may be enough to secure a route into the last eight as a runner up in Pool C but Heaslip is refusing to go down that route, insisting that the Irish must play to win at the Otago Stadium in Dunedin on Sunday.
“You can do the permutations and all that sort of thing but it would make life a whole lot easier if we go out there with the intention of winning,” Heaslip said.
