Ireland won 35-0 against Russia in the Kobe Misaki Stadium, but there wasn't much to be positive from a sloppy performance despite Joe Schmidt putting a brave face on things.
Cian Tracey, Ruaidhri O'Connor and Jonathan Bradley were all reporting on an error-strewn match that did little to inspire any faith that this Irish team can achieve their goals by getting to a semi-final and beyond in Japan.
The injury count is mounting, the players' body-language is poor and there's a familiar feeling about this World Cup
Will a couple of days off in Fukuoka do the trick? should Ireland send for Devin Toner if Jordi Murphy is injured? What can Schmidt do to inspire a team who look low on energy and off their game in the next two weeks?
