IRELAND TRAINED IN glorious sunshine and 20 degree heat at the Stade de France today ahead of tomorrow night’s hotly anticipated Six Nations decider against France in Paris.
Our man on the continent was there to speak with forwards coach John Plumtree and flanker Peter O’Mahony after the session, but here’s how Joe Schmidt’s side are shaping up.
Jonathan Sexton should know this place a little better than most
Ireland’s captain, and Ireland’s longest serving captain lead the squad
A rare moment in the shadows for Brian O’Driscoll
Schmidt keeping a close eye on proceedings
The record will end at 56 international caps for this centre partnership
Passing drills
And kicking drills
