64 becomes 32 as roses get ready for tonight's live show from the dome

Whip cracking, limbo dancing and aerial hooping are just some of the party pieces we can expect from tonight's Rose of Tralee hopefuls.

32 lovely girls from all over the world will compete for the title over the next two nights. Daithi O'Shea who's into his 8th year hosting at the Dome, says he was more nervous about yesterday's match than tonight's first live show.
