There is a sense of expectation around Ireland heading into their World Cup opener against Romania and for good reason. Ranked number one in the world, Andy Farrell’s side have won their last 13 games, are reigning Six Nations champions and beat Australia and South Africa last November. Before that, they won two out of three games during their historic and successful tour of New Zealand.

All in all, it’s been a memorable run for Ireland who warmed up for the World Cup with wins over Italy, England Samoa. There’s also good news on the injury front, with only Dan Sheehan looking like missing out on the opening game. Therefore, it should be a straightforward start against a Romania side that recently lost by 50 points to Italy and Georgia.

This will be the ninth time Romania have played in a World Cup but little is expected of the minnows, who are only playing in France after finishing second in the Rugby Europe competition due to Spain fielding an ineligible player and being demoted to third.

Line-ups

Ireland XV: Keenan; Earls, Ringrose, Aki, Lowe; Sexton (c), Gibson-Park; Porter, Herring, Furlong; McCarthy, Ryan; Beirne, O’Mahony, Doris

Replacements: Kelleher, Loughman, O’Toole, Henderson, Van der Flier, Murray, Crowley, Henshaw

Romania XV: Simionescu; Onutu, Tangimana, Tomane, Manumua; Vaovasa, Rupanu; Harting, Cojocaru, Gordas; Motoc, Iancu; Rosu, Neculau, Chirica (c)

Replacements: Bardasu, Savin, Gajion, Iftimiciuc, Ser, Conache, Boldor, Gontineac

It should be a comfortable opening match for Ireland at Stade de Bordeaux and a great opportunity for its fearsome attack to rack up a big score. We’ve got all the details you need to watch Ireland vs Romania live streams, from anywhere, down below.
