Ireland recorded a bonus point win this morning against Russia in the Rugby World Cup, beating the Group A minnows by 35 points to nil.

In a game filled with handling errors and scrappy play, Ireland managed to get their World Cup campaign back on track, but I’m not sure the performance will silence the doubters.

Ivan doesn't know why everyone seems so down on the team.
