VIDEO: Sighs of relief for Ireland’s green army

Phew… that was the general consensus at the end of a too-close for comfort match which put Ireland in the quarter-final of the Rugby World Cup once more.

Amid the celebratory singing and chanting as the fans poured out of London’s Olympic Stadium last night, there were more than a few who were aware Ireland cannot play like that next week.

“At least we won, but it was definitely not a fantastic performance,” said Danny Glavin from Tralee. “It just will not do against France. They will have to pick it up.”
