Tom McGuirk does the honours, and it's only lovely.

Tom McGuirk delivers the words and he reminds us of the fact that we won't have BOD this time around, that the Rugby World Cup isn't too far away and that the Springboks and Australians should pose a serious test to Joe Schmidt's side. It is pitch perfect and really tees up the next few weeks of rugby.
Honestly, if this doesn't get you in the mood for the game later on, you need to have a long hard look at yourself.
