The Irish are everywhere.

New Zealand and France are playing each other in the World Cup quarter final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff tonight and the Irish have taken over. The second half of the match got underway to a fierce rendition of The Fields of Athenry being belted out by Irish fans all over the stadium. Ireland play Argentina in Cardiff tomorrow so the Irish presence in the Welsh city is strong but we didn't expect them to be so vocal tonight. People in the stadium and watching home noticed, their reactions are fantastic. https://twitter.com/MichaelC_RTE/status/655475238323531776 https://twitter.com/nickicoffey/status/655475236121481220 https://twitter.com/Felie85/status/655475263602622464 https://twitter.com/HeffsM/status/655475280417529856 https://twitter.com/buff_egan/status/655475297073176577 https://twitter.com/IrishRugby/status/655473924675870720 https://twitter.com/disneyfthorxn/status/655475481328881664 https://twitter.com/fionndavenport/status/655474886635335680 https://twitter.com/_TheJaker_/status/655476996374446080 https://twitter.com/joehas/status/655476899146244096 https://twitter.com/davycopeland/status/655476416721592320 https://twitter.com/ShaneKelly11/status/655476368348696576
