No change for the starting 15 that was denied a chance to face France in Paris and ready to make his presence count is Naas native Jamie Heaslip. The Guinness rugby ambassador says the squad are wary about an improving Italy with powerful scrum and what he considers great ball carriers, all of which has helped focus the mind of the squad ahead of the perceived weaker nation in the championship, making them conscious of avoiding an upset.
