1934: This commentary could be quite tricky as I have Bros' 1988 pop-funk classic "Drop the Boy" going round and around in my mind. I heard it earlier in the day and I just can't get rid of it. It's highly annoying. If you have another equally irritating tune that could stop my descent into insanity - please get in touch. 1930: Evening all. Here we go then for the third game of the day - Ireland v Georgia at the Chaban Delmas Stadium in Bordeaux. The Irish struggled and spluttered through their opening pool match against Namibia and tonight they will be wanting to put that error-strewn performance behind them ahead of the crunch contests against France and Argentina. A fuming and under-fire Eddie O'Sullivan seemed visibly shaken after the Namibia match saying: "It was pretty poor, probably our worst performance for a long time." But he has resisted the temptation to make wholesale changes and the return of fit-again wing Shane Horgan to replace Andrew Trimble is the only alteration to his starting XV. Georgia, meanwhile, were stubborn and physical opponents for Argentina last Tuesday but they ended up losing 33-3. Head coach Malkhaz Cheishvili, who has made 11 changes to his side, says wants to see a creative and defensive improvement. As ever, we want to hear about what you are up to, where you are watching the match and how you think the game will go. Get involved via text using the number above or on 606.
