The Ireland squad looks to be having a ball in Burton Hall tonight.

Paul O'Connell and his fellow Irish rugby representatives are at a fancy ol' ceremony tonight picking up their official Rugby World Cup caps tonight at a 'Welcome' event in Burton-on-Trent Before the lads arrived, some Irish players were clearly very excited, and some maybe weren't. https://instagram.com/p/75tHWkj_87/ https://twitter.com/IrishRugby/status/646012903049547776 Even if Rob Kearney looks a little bit psychotic. https://twitter.com/IrishRugby/status/646013091566718977 At the event itself the Irish lads looked very sharp, despite Paul O'Connell looking like the biggest schoolboy in the world.
