It was so different to what we are used to coming from Gaelic football, apart from the weather which was pretty similar to Ireland. Members of the US Liffre Gaelic football team take part in a training session. From the analysis already done by the Gaelic star, he’s earmarked two current NFL kickers as sources of inspiration ahead of the Combine. Gaelic football is probably the main sport in Ireland.

"What's happened in the past is irrelevant, we're just trying to get better every week and so are they." "I don't think we're carrying much baggage, it's a one-off game and we've got to prepare for it." Farrell was able to name an unchanged starting team for the game with Mack Hansen and James Lowe both passed fit to play. Farrell said Ryan would probably be available for the semi-finals if Ireland managed to get past New Zealand. "That's what we're preparing for, the toughest game we've ever faced, and that we're going to be ready for it."

BORDEAUX, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Ireland thrashed Romania 82-8 to get their World Cup campaign started in style in Bordeaux on Saturday, running in 12 tries despite the sweltering heat as the returning Johnny Sexton pulled the strings and centre Bundee Aki ran riot. Romania briefly led against the number one-ranked team in the world, after running back a clearance kick and sending scrum half Gabriel Rupanu clean through to score in the second minute. By the time Sexton walked off to a standing ovation midway through the second half the game was long over as a contest. Aki’s power was also impressive, running perfectly into the gaps and getting his second try six minutes from time to take the Irish tally past the 70-point mark. Ireland next meet Tonga in Nantes next Saturday while Romania return to Bordeaux against South Africa on Sunday, Sept. 17.

The way we play, to us, we think it’s beautiful. Our way is focused on the scrum and the maul, which is also beautiful in its own way. "Ireland are very good with their set plays and they’re technical, so it’s going to be a good game to watch with two different plays." The teams will meet in the World Cup pool stages in France next year, but Kolisi says there cannot be too much read into the result, whatever happens on Saturday. The pressure of a World Cup adds an extra dynamic.

In many instances, users switched over to it from Adobe products for those reasons. The fear is “not necessarily that it’s going to get worse, it’s that it’s just not going to get better anymore,” Mr. McCarthy said. Since last week, the social media site has become a popular forum for Figma users to voice their worries. If Figma price points approached some of the existing price points for Adobe products, “our costs would go through the roof,” said Mr. McCarthy. Both Adobe and Figma said that the strong community element is part of what made Figma so valuable and attractive to Adobe and they hope it can remain.
