Ireland's World Cup hit a major speed-bump as Japan turned up the noise on an unforgettable night at the Ecopa Stadium.
Cian Tracey is joined by Ruaidhri O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley to reflect on a result that will cause shockwaves across the rugby world and puts Joe Schmidt's on course for a quarter-final against the All Blacks.

With Jack Conan on the way home and Jordi Murphy set to replace him, the squad only have until Thursday to fix things as they take on Russia in their third game, needing a bonus point win to keep control of their destiny.
