NANTES, France : Johnny Sexton crossed for a try to become Ireland's all-time leading points scorer in the first half of the Six Nations champions' World Cup Pool B clash against Tonga on Saturday.
Tadhg Beirne believes he and Ireland are still some way from hitting top form at the Rugby World Cup as they bid to avoid being scalped by Tonga.
Johnny Sexton has been retained in the Ireland side for Saturday's Rugby World Cup Pool B meeting with Tonga in Nantes, with head coach Andy Farrell making just four changes from last week's hammering of Romania.
Tadhg Beirne says Ireland's lineout mishaps are not a concern to the team and is confident that they can be ironed out against Tonga.
Ireland ran in 12 tries in their World Cup record haul against Romania in Bordeaux but for both Caelan Doris and Tadhg Beirne, it was the 12th one which best epitomised their approach on the day and pleased them most.
When the clock is in the red and it's 35C and there's a 67 point lead, you could forgive any team for tapping the ball out of play and calling it a day.
Ireland's Rugby World Cup campaign is up and running, although the tougher days are yet to come.
BORDEAUX :Ireland thrashed Romania 82-8 to get their World Cup campaign started in style in Bordeaux on Saturday, running in 12 tries despite the sweltering heat as the returning Johnny Sexton pulled the strings and centre Bundee Aki ran riot.
