Ireland back row Jack Conan says the side are "still hurting" after their opening game loss in the Six Nations ahead of Saturday's second match against Italy (14:10 GMT).
Andy Farrell's side's Six Nations campaign began in dispiriting fashion as they were defeated by France.
On Saturday, they face an Italian side in positive form after their opening-weekend win over Scotland in Rome.
"There are too many good players in the squad for it to be a systemic thing and we have a great chance to bounce back [against Italy]," Conan said.
"It is disappointing the way we performed and no matter what happens we will look back and think what happened then.
"There is still an abundance of quality in every position even with lads being injured and not in the environment. Everyone is hurting, the starting players, the substitutes and the coaching staff."
Italy finished fifth in last year's Six Nations, winning one match and losing four and they have never won a Six Nations match in Dublin.
However, Conan added that Italy has vastly improved in the last number of years and Ireland must be prepared for the Azzurri's threats.
"You look at how Italy dealt with Scotland in really tricky conditions. Their set pieces have come on a long way, their line-out has been really good, they were really good against Scotland in the air, their scrum was fantastic," Conan continued.
"It's a proper test and a real challenge for us. I think it is important that lads aren't burdened with what happened last week.
"You can be hurt because you care but don't let the mistakes or one under power performance impact how we rock into this weekend."
