Ireland’s preparations for the World Cup are no laughing matter as seen by the impressive and focused manner of the recent warm-up win against Wales in Cardiff.

Joe Schmidt will once again be running rule over the squad this weekend as Scotland visit the Aviva Stadium with changes aplenty in the Irish XV.

The match promises to be a big day for Leinster’s Jack Conan as he looks set to make his Irish debut while Sean O’Brien returns to skipper the side.

BOD couldn’t resist a small quip at seeing the lads’ names printed side-by-side together because they do resemble the surname to a certain famous comedian.
