With time running out before the start of the World Cup, some of Ireland’s leading rugby pundits believe the time has come for Ireland to start winning.

Two warm-up games down, two to go, and despite some decent performances so far, Ireland have yet to notch up a win in the August series so far.

Declan Kidney’s men take on France and England in the Aviva Stadium over the next two weekends and the likes of Frankie Sheahan and Shane Byrne believe Ireland have to win at least one of those games to ensure that confidence levels are high heading into the big one in New Zealand next month.

Check out the video above to hear the thoughts of Sheahan, Byrne, Brent Pope and French rugby legend Serge Betsen, who were speaking at a Guinness Area 22 event in Kiely’s Bar in Donnybrook last night.
