Key Man: Jonny Sexton. When he's on form, Ireland are generally on form. The fly half has developed into one of the best fly-half's in the game and he is vital for Ireland.
One to watch: DTH Van Der Merwe. Glasgow fans know all about him and he comes into the tournament with a bit of form for his country. 2 tries in his last outing against Fiji and if given space he can be dangerous.
Head to head: Paul O'Connell & Jamie Cudmore. Will be interesting to see how these 2 face off against eachother. The 2 captains are both very physical and are both very important to their country.
BOD's prediction: Ireland. The boys in green will have too much for Canada with their full 15 out. Could be a long day for Canada if Ireland play to their full potential.
