Ireland hope to back up last week's opening World Cup win over Japan with another victory at Franklin's Gardens in Northampton this afternoon. Scott Bemand has made seven changes for today's game against Spain, as the side keep one eye on their final Pool C clash with New Zealand next Sunday. Rian Noctor takes you through all the action below on our liveblog.

The visitors aimed for a complete sweep on the tour but ultimately fell short, showing they are good but not great.

Nancy McGillivray proudly wore her first cap as a new Ireland player during the warm-up game against Scotland, marking her debut in Irish rugby.

Cian Prendergast is deeply proud to represent the westerners, emphasizing that he never takes his call-ups for Ireland for granted, reflecting on a supportive family background.
