Italy U21 head coach Carmine Nunziata hasn't yet acclimatised to Cork conditions, but won't tolerate any excuses from his players when his table toppers face Ireland in Turner's Cross Tuesday evening. 

The Italian party flew in from Bologna on Sunday and is holed up at the Rochestown Park Hotel in the city suburb, training at the match venue on Sunday and Monday evenings.
