Ireland take on Russia in the Rugby World Cup today and the pressure is on! While the team were on the bus to the match this morning, Alison checked in with them to see how they're set up after their last game against Japan.
Rory Best is trying to stay positive, but said honesty is key with where it went wrong last week. However the honesty he got from Alison was a bit much, even if it's true that her 8-year-old could have thrown a better line-out than him.
Rob Kearney's eye injury hasn't healed fully yet and is still swollen... throbbing...
"I was given a right good seeing to, Alison. But hopefully if I leave it, it'll go down... slowly."
Johnny Sexton has been named captain which is a great honour, but Johnny seemed to think there wasn't much else to it aside from sitting up at the top of the bus, and "it's only Russia" after all. His tone didn't go down well and when Alison demanded an apology, a moody Johnny was fairly reluctant!
