Early star against Scots
Ireland's long-awaited Rugby World Cup opening fixture against Scotland will kick-off in Yokohama tomorrow morning at a quarter to nine.
Rob Kearney, Keith Earls, Joey Carbery and Robbie Henhsaw have all been ruled out because of injury.
Athlone's Jack Carty will almost certainly make his World Cup debut as he is named on the bench.
In the other games tomorrow Italy face Namibia at 6.15 am and England open their campaign against Tonga at 11.15 am
