Sexton returns as Ireland thrash Romania to kick-start Rugby World Cup

Ireland got their World Cup campaign off to a winning start with an 82-8 win over Romania in the heat of Bordeaux. Maire Treasa Ní Dhubhghaill is joined in the House of Rugby studio by former Ireland and Munster player Peter Stringer and former Munster and Leicester player Johne Murphy as they look back on the opening weekend of action in France. They analyse the game in full, discuss the difficulty of playing in the heat and debate whether or not Ireland should risk Johnny Sexton against Tonga next week. Plus, who impressed at the weekend? And why we shouldn't be too fearful of France.With thanks to Heineken. Please drink responsibly.
