Welcome aboard.
The English chariot has crashed and burned and it appears their fans are now jumping on the Irish bandwagon.
England suffered an humiliating exit from their own World Cup last night, the first time in the competition’s history the host nation failed to make it past the pool stage, and fans are left at a loose end with another month of the competition to play.
While this England fan wants the whole tournament scrapped, others have now pledged their allegiance to Ireland.

Including this well-known Arsenal fan, who’s father was Irish.
Come on Ireland. #RWC2015

Other England fans also claimed they’ll be cheering on Joe Schmidt’s men. Welcome aboard the Irish bandwagon.
England are out the World Cup, guess I'm supporting Ireland now!

While one Irish fan felt it was ironic England supporters will now be supporting Ireland.
Funny that England fans are now supporting Ireland in the Rugby when the Irish actively support any team England play #AnyoneButEngland #IRE
