Well it's the moment of truth. Time to see if joe has been holding anything back. Keep in mind this is the longest he's ever had with all these players, they've known this was the big game since the WCdraw and all our world class players are fit. I've been worried about their performance levels since the 6n but now it's time to see what's been planned.

I think the Italian match will stand to the Irish team compared to the french having Canada. Italy put up a great fight and having such abrasive opponents tested out defence and our attacking abilities. Ireland by less than 7.

Hard to call this match.. five years since they've beaten us versus our pathetic RWC record against them. COYBIG!

I have the fear right now.......

Johnny is going to be the difference on Sunday, Freddy will get a face full of Henderson and the tank, then sit deep in a little pocket of fear

Nigel Owens.. Great Ref!!

Who's the ref ?
