Yahoo Sport presents The Five Pointer, a video preview of the weekend’s action.

Ireland have never gone beyond the quarter final stage at a World Cup but former legend Brian O’Driscoll believes the team are ready to finally break that hoodoo.

In the Premier League, the big game of the weekend takes place at Stamford Bridge on Sunday as Chelsea will be hell-bent on bringing Liverpool’s 100% record in the league to an end.
