Irish fans are having the absolute craic at the rugby in Wembley
So Irish rugby fans have been absolutely taking over London in the run-up to today’s kick-off against Romania.
Some of them have gotten very excited indeed and decided to act like absolute messers with the aid of some of the giant screens put up in Wembley’s fan-zone.

It would appear that a few very familiar Irish names are coming up as missing in the Public Service Announcement.
We reckon that considering there seems to be a healthy number of Irish supporters on site, it should not be too long before the famous names turn up. We just wonder who came up with the idea in the first place.
Ireland’s sold out match against Romania is the 300 match in Rugby World Cup history, and it looks like it might as well have been played in the Aviva.

TV3, who are broadcasting the match today, were reminding everyone not to be too cautious around the underdog team considering the folklore surrounding one of the nation’s most famous citizens.
BOD himself showed no fear as he got up close and personal with some of the Romanian players before the match started:
