Ireland don’t play until tomorrow but their fans could be heard at the match between France and New Zealand today.
Supporters of the boys in green, who take on Argentina on Sunday, could be heard in full swing at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
They belted out The Fields of Athenry so we can only imagine what the sound levels are going to be like when Joe Schmidt’s team actually take to the field.
Here were some of the Twitter reactions to the singalong…
