The Irish squad were being put through their paces today and Munster lock Donncha O’Callaghan was looking incredibly focused during scrum practice.
With the Autumn Series quickly approaching, every player will be doing his best to impress Joe Schmidt and we expect that the sessions are highly competitive affairs as each player stakes a claim to make the starting XV.
Widely regarded is one the most diligent trainers around, O’Callaghan was giving it his all today and this picture sums that up perfectly.

Away from the pitch we know that he enjoys having the craic, and if today’s pictured sums up his work ethic on the pitch, this snap taken from the open training session earlier in the week at the Aviva highlights his light-hearted approach off it.

Pictures painting thousands of words and all that.
