After another Six Nations win, the Ireland team will be heading to the World Cup on high spirits, but with a certain sense of expectation too.
In advance of the start of the tournament, Irish Rugby and Canterbury unveiled the new strip that the Boys in Green will be wearing for the tournament, and one that, perhaps, may even become part of Irish sporting history.

Paul O'Connell, Rob Kearney and Sean O'Brien were chosen to front the campaign, while they and other members of the squad were on hand to meet and greet with fans today as the jersey was unveiled in Galway.

Speaking about the launch of the shirt, Padraig Power of the IRFU said "There will be a sea of green at every Ireland match in the Rugby World Cup thanks to the commitment of our supporters and our sponsors as they stand shoulder to shoulder with the team".
