    I'm bringing the young fella and his 3 buddies (all 6yrs old)to Musgrave park on Wednesday morning for the Irish teams open training session
    What's the story with these? do the kids get to meet the players in a big free for all, and is it before or after the session?
    Cheers

    From what I've seen on youtube and that it looks like the squad train as usual and then after it they mix a bit for autographs and photos. I don't think tje kids are allowed on the pitch more that the players go to the stands.

    I could be completely wrong on this though.

    Yea I think the team train, kids watch and then they'll walk around the edge at the end and sign some gear and pose for a few photos.

    Don't think there is any official meet and greet type thing.

    yup, that was it.
    kids really enjoyed it, gots loads of autographs on their jerseys and photographs.A big crowd there.

    Devin Toner a pure gentleman in fairness, as was Paul O'Connell. Paulie first to sign autographs and one of the last into the dressing room.
