Former Ireland and Lions player, Donal Lenihan, gives his view of Ireland's victory over Canada.

The rugby columnist for the Irish Examiner says there were so many positives for Joe Schmidt's men in today's Pool D match.

Lenihan thought the centre partnership of Luke Fitzgerald and Jared Payne worked really well and sees it as good preparation for their games against Italy and France in the weeks to come.
