Pics: Paul O’Connell is the only Irish player to take this team photo lark seriously

'Stop messing or I'll tell Joe!'

The gang from Inpho Photography were at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon to get the latest Ireland team photo ahead of Saturday's Six Nations clash with France. The snaps show the Irish lads in good form but only Paul O'Connell seems to be taking matters seriously. Simon Zebo jogged up, trackie top on, at the last minute, Rob Kearney and Mike Ross were jibing Johnny Sexton and Jamie Heaslip was cracking jokes in the front row. And O'Connell? Pure. Game. Face.

Right lads, quit the horseplay

Hurry up Zeebs

I've been ready ages

Right, that'll do it. Wait, where's Zeebs?

Next time, it might be a good idea to give Devin Toner a bench or the back row. Good old Paulie, another reason to add to his list of tributes.
