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.

Even if Rob Kearney looks a little bit psychotic.

At the event itself the Irish lads looked very sharp, despite Paul O’Connell looking like the biggest schoolboy in the world.

And Sean O’Brien looks like the ceremony had driven him a bit demented.
