Indifferent form in their three warm-up matches was partly about the opposition raising their game, he claimed, a reflection of Ireland\u2019s unprecedented status.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s just been a reminder, which is great before a World Cup, that teams are going to be at their very, very best, and particularly now that we are world number one we\u2019ve a big target on our back. There\u2019s no point in putting it otherwise,\u2019 said the flanker.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018So, every team you play is going to be at their very best to try and knock you over, and I think it was a good reminder for us over the last few weeks of the different types of games and the way to approach them, that we need to be all over things from minute one to minute 80.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>World Rugby, the tournament organisers, confirmed on Friday evening that there will be water breaks at the Stade de Bordeaux on Saturday afternoon (KO 2.30pm Irish time), with temperatures forecast to hit 36 degrees Celsius. The Irish camp have also insisted that Mack Hansen\u2019s omission from the match-day 23 is not for disciplinary reasons. The Connacht winger is the only one of Farrell\u2019s available front-liners who will not feature in today\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/08\/17\/75223541-0-image-a-3_1694190676855.jpg\" height=\"458\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ireland veteran peter O&#8217;Mahony has warned that sides will up their game against Ireland during the World Cup<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/08\/17\/75223493-0-image-a-1_1694190479377.jpg\" height=\"427\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Irish will get their campaign underway on Saturday against Romania with high expectations for the competition<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/08\/17\/75223477-0-image-a-2_1694190483504.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Romania will likely be no challenge for Ireland but bigger tests will come in the Pool matches<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/rugbyunion\/article-12497051\/Ireland-warned-team-Peter-OMahony-World-Cup-Romania.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ireland are warned that they are the team EVERYONE wants to beat by veteran Peter O&#8217;Mahony ahead of World Cup opener against Romania The world&#8217;s No1 team should have no difficulties against\u00a0Romania on Saturday O&#8217;Mahony insisted teams will raise their game becauase of his side&#8217;s status The competition gets underway this evening when France take&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289975,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
