Ireland are 1-0 up against hosts France in Lyon and we're looking confident, very confident.
Robbie Brady continued his heroics from the Italy game by converting a very early penalty, after Shane Long was brought down in the area... and a whole nation shouted in pure joy.

Once the game settled, so did Ireland and despite some scary moments at the end of the half, we looked relatively comfortable, although the nerves were significantly increased.
Even the Taoiseach was getting involved.
