In pics: Captain's Run for Ireland and Samoa as BOD watches on

BRIAN O’DRISCOLL WAS high profile spectator at today’s Captain’s Run at the Aviva Stadium.

However, Ireland coach Les Kiss signalled all was well for the veteran centre and insisted he would be fit for tomorrow’s opening November Test against Samoa.

Thes session didn’t appear to be lacking numbers though, as head coach Joe Schmidt displayed his ‘hands on’ approach, playing a part in moves and attempting to charge down a Rob Kearney clearance.

Here’s how both teams looked.
