The best pics as Ireland's World Cup camp gets into gear at Carton House

Ireland’s World Cup preparations moved up a notch.

IT BEGINS.

After a series of mini-camps throught the last month, the Irish squad congregated at Carton House this morning for their first training session ahead of the warm-up games against Wales, Scotland and Italy.

While some players are still rehabbing injuries, everyone took some part in the session, which resulted in some great photos.

With ‘Rala’ on the sideline, their every need was catered for.
