A decent start by Ireland.
Ireland kicked-off their Rugby World Cup this afternoon against Canada at the Millennium Stadium.
The scoreline makes for healthy half-time reading, with tries from Seán O’Brien, Iain henderson, Johnny Sexton and Dave Kearney putting Joe Schmidt’s side 29-0 ahead at the break.

Can see Ireland racking up a big score here. Canadians look spent already and defensively backing off particularly out wide #IREvCAN

There was NO chance of Dave Kearney giving that ball to the options that he had on his outside right #MYTry #IREvCAN #RWC15
