The changing shape of rugby player’s bodies summed up in one jaw-dropping image.
Ireland face Canada first-up, on September 19, in the World Cup.
Joe Schmidt has his troops drilled to within an inch of what’s comfortable but surely no other team is working as hard as the Canucks to get in prime physical condition.

Last night, we were astounded at this picture [below] from Canada’s dressing room after their weekend warm-up victory over Georgia.
On Wednesday, Andrew Tiedemann scored a try and Nathan Hirayama kicked 11 points as they won second match in a row [they beat Glasgow Warriors at the weekend].
Canadian back Phil MacKenzie tweeted out this jubilant snap:
Another big performance from the boys last night. Excited to keep building for the @rugbyworldcup! #RWC2015 pic.twitter.com/a2VevJ2p9y

Whatever happened to the days of Claw and Rod Snow?
