Anthem time here at the Aviva. Any last minute predictions?

Huge source of inspiration for Samoa. 'Fats' was often credited with moving Samoan rugby forward since 1991. A huge loss to the game and someone who will be greatly missed across the game.

Hello and welcome along to our coverage of today's Autumn international between Ireland and Samoa at the Aviva Stadium. Its 7th vs 8th with the visitors Samoa lying one spot ahead of Ireland. Massively physical encounter on the cards, as is always the case when Samoa are involved. Big day for the likes of Jack McGrath, Paddy Jackson and Fergus McFadden who are given a chance to impress in Joe Schmidt's first game. Both teams out on the field now for the anthems, less than ten from KO. We'll have a minutes silence for the late Peter Fatialofa, a true legend of the game.

18:45 if you forgot to put your clock back last week :-)
