The wait is finally over.
We've been good boys and girls and been to bed early every night* and now we've got our reward - Ireland's Rugby World Cup campaign gets underway this afternoon. Joe Schmidt's men face Canada at the Millennium Stadium, with the kick-off at 2.30pm. We're honestly struggling to contain our excitement here in JOE and judging by Twitter, we're not the only ones. Here are some of the best tweets from around place today...
