The Irish rugby squad were put through their paces at an open training session at the Aviva today and the supporters that gathered got up close and personal with their heroes.
As well as getting to run through moves ahead of the Autumn Internationals under new management, the players happily signed autographs and posed for pictures with their sporting idols.
Brian O’Driscoll was as usual the main man in demand and went for a selfie approach during the session, much to the delight of the fans present.

And it wasn’t just O’Driscoll who was in selfie-mode, with Conor Murray and Kevin McLaughlin among those also getting in on the act.

A great initiative from the IRFU and judging by the reaction of the supporters, it went down a treat.
