There’s an Irish invasion in North London today.
With the Rugby World Cup just a short flight away, and a significant Irish population living in London, it’s no surprise that there was a sea of green around Wembley Stadium ahead of Ireland v Romania.
The FanZone area was packed full of Irish fans, decked out in green, and we doubt Romania will recieve much vocal support inside the ground today.
Some Irish fans also played a very funny prank on unsuspecting Wembley staff.
