Pubs are gearing up in Kingsland in preparation for tonight's game between New Zealand and Ireland.Â
They're expecting 3- to 4-times the usual business, and hours before kick-off fans are already trickling in.Â
Fans are sporting their side's colours, and so far green shirts are hard to spot among a sea of black.Â
There are no doubts from either side about who will win, but the focus is on enjoying the night.Â
