'You think of where they’re coming in from,' said the vastly experienced prop forward
Tadhg Furlong understands exactly what Tonga's World Cup opener means to their players - and expects nothing to come easy in Nantes tonight.
"The players play all over the world and it must be special for them to get a bunch of them in a room to gel and bond for a prolonged pre-season."It’s a special tournament for them, to spend it with their countrymen over a long time. Of course we respect them." "So there’s always stuff that can come out of it but I think the way the lads stuck in there and found a way to get the result was the biggest thing for us.
"We all probably watched that game and were really impressed with the way Uruguay played," said Ireland's defence coach Simon Easterby.
