Ireland had at least one fan who was ready to give it all they had today at the match, despite the fact that they were in complete control for the majority of the game.
Nathan Murphy of Off The Ball was in attendance at the game to see Ireland run out 50-7 winners over Canada, and had the pleasure of sitting near a Paul O'Connel/Ireland super fan for the duration of the game.
Thankfully he kept us updated throughout the game with the goings on at the match, and the advice being given to the players by said fan.
