The kick-off for Canada draws closer..

Joe Schmidt's men take on Wales at the Aviva this weekend as the build-up to the World Cup gathers pace with just three weeks to go until the opening game against Canada. Conor Murray and Sean O'Brien are all but guaranteed seats on the plane to England although Cian Healy will need to pass a late fitness test if he's to play any part in Schmidt's plans. The trio took part in a Lucozade Sport photoshoot this week with American photographer Zach Gold, famous for shooting LeBron James, David Beckham and 50 Cent among others, and it seems like the trio are in relaxed mood as the pressure builds.
