    Ireland always perform above expectations in a white hot atmosphere too, Sunday afternoon kick off and the stadium very slowly filling up does not bode well to a good atmosphere

    Do people reckon Garland was actually up to gamesmanship with the Williams Anscombe thing? Can't imagine Anscombe was too happy being used as bait.

    Dropkick Murphys playing in the Aviva. It's just like the Sportsground! :)

    We need every player 1 - 15 to turn it on today. Whenever we get penalties in their half we need to take 3 points every time.
    It can be done. Joe will have them prepared - I'd imagine there'll be a few set piece tricks pulled out today. We scored a try recently that looked like everything fell in our favour but looking at it closely players were exactly where they needed to be and Best did a clear out to leave the channel open for the score. We'll take that today again.

    1-23. Welsh bench looks like it could make a difference.

    The Welsh players look very relaxed. Hopefully a little bit of complacency...

    Is it just me or is the sound really poor on RTÉ?

    Going to be an awfully tight game IMO. Really need to keep Warburton and tipiric quiet.

    Gone with the draw at 18/1 for the laugh.

    Come on Ireland

    Judging by his interview on ITV Joe certainly thinks it was mind games.

    I hope Keiran Marmion and Rhys Ruddock score 5 tries each, and anyone else with a bit of welsh blood.

    Was there any comment on Zebo starting ahead of Kearney? Was he dropped or was it an injury?

    Quite a lot of the team now are either Project players, qualify through parents/grandparents or from Ulster. Obviously as an Ulster fan it's a topic I keep my council on but fair play to CJ for taking the time to learn it anyway.
