After last weekend's shock defeat to Japan, Ireland will bid to get their Rugby World Cup back on track with a bonus point win over Russia in Pool A in Kobe this morning.
Kick off is at 11.15 Irish time.
Johnny Sexton will captain his country for the first time as he makes his 86th appearance in green.
Coach Joe Schmidt knows there is no margin for error; "It's great for our pool if your an independent observer because it's thrown the pool wide open and everyone is chasing Japan in our pool now".
