"Tadhg will be fine. I saw him get a kick of a cow when he was 7. The cow didn’t do it again."
Ireland suffered a shock defeat to Japan, the hosts of this year's Rugby World Cup, at the Shizuoka Stadium.
After a tiring mach that saw Ireland score zero points after the twenty-first minute, Japan ran rampant and brought back memories of Japan's victory of South Africa in 2015.
So, how'd it go for Irish Twitter in general? Not great, to be honest.
Take a look.
