The Ireland cricket team managed to squeeze in some fun during their World Cup training today

It looks like the Irish cricketers were trying to make a late push to be a part of Ireland’s Six Nations squad during their training session in Canberra today. The Boys In Green took some time out of their preparations for their World Cup clash against Zimbabwe on Saturday morning to try their hand at a spot of rugby.

Check out some great photos of the training session below. Also, be sure to support the Irish cricketers in action against Zimbabwe at ludicrous o’clock which kicks off at 3:30 am Irish time on Saturday.
