will that continue when they step up in competition against Tonga tonight?

Boasting arguably their most talented squad in history and the world No 1 ranking to boot - there is plenty of pressure on Ireland to perform at this year's Rugby World Cup.

Andy Farrell's side got the job done in convincing fashion against Romania in their World Cup opener - defeating the minnow nation 82-8 in Bordeaux. Johnny Sexton and Co have a tougher task in their second pool game tonight however, as they take on Tonga in Nantes.

Ireland are 1/250 to beat Tonga in Nantes tonight, while the Pacific Island nation are 25/1

While Ireland should manage to get the job done, they can't afford to take their opposition lightly as Tonga's size and athleticism can pose problems for any team.

Despite the dangers Ben Tameifuna and Co present, Ireland are extremely short 1/250 favourites to remain undefeated in Pool B. Meanwhile, for those predicting the upset, Tonga are 25/1 outsiders with Sky Bet.
