Italy have stunned Ireland in Rome, taking a 16-12 lead in at half-time at the Stadio Olimpico thanks to tries from Padovani and Morisi.
Ireland took the lead early on thanks to a try from Connacht lock Quinn Roux, before Jacob Stockdale added a second not long after, following a disastrous Italian mistake from the kick-off.
