With two huge Irish matches today, it feels like the whole country is already thinking about how to take tomorrow off should we win them both.
While many watch the games here, the craic in Cardiff looks off the charts, with tonnes going to huge effort for the big game. Come on you boys in green, let’s get this done and have one hell of a party tonight!
