From the photo shoot to the stadium tour, the media briefing, and the contract signing, FAITV was on Thursday at the residence of new Republic of Ireland manager Heimer Hallgrimsson.
Meanwhile, the squad for the Women’s international matches against England and Cork was announced with a very Cork-like feel.

The IRFU created this video highlighting the reasons why people referee the sport, encouraging others to become part of the team and ‘have a blast’.

Nearly Two-Thirds of Irish people are Early Birds, and a survey by Alpro shows that 52% are more productive in the morning.
According to the research, over 46% of us tackle a minimum of four tasks by 7 a.m. each day. The survey*, undertaken to celebrate the arrival of the new Alpro Plant Protein range, found a nation of go-getters with everyday essentials like starting a wash load, emptying the dishwasher, and getting showered before breakfast.
To promote their Plant Protein range, the brand challenged rugby legend Donncha O’Callaghan to put an unrealistic morning routine to the test.
He had to wake up at the crack of dawn (2:30 am, to be exact!), squeeze in multiple intense gym sessions, and even brave an ice bath.
“Our research shows that although Ireland is a nation of early risers, we haven’t cracked our protein intake at the start of the day,” said Alpro Brand Manager Lydia Cummins.
“Although almost all Irish people recognise the importance of protein in their diet, a third don’t have enough in their breakfast. We may be good at getting up early, but we also need to start our day in the right way.”
