Jamie Heaslip, Peter Stringer, Fiona Coghlan, Mary Hulgraine, Úna Walsh are on tonight's Late Late Show.

The Irish rugby teams prepare for this year's Six Nations campaign so Grand Slam winners Jamie Heaslip, Peter Stringer and Fiona Coghlan will chat about Ireland's prospects in this year's men and women's competitions. They'll talk about how playing in front of a full crowd is the boost they need, and the current situation with the women's game after that letter.

Kildare GAA All-Star footballer, Mary Hulgraine, will be on the show to discuss how she kicked her addiction to Oxycontin and alcohol to make a return to the Kildare Senior Women's team.

Ryan will catch up with 14-year-old harpist Úna Walsh, who inspired children all over the country when she performed on last year’s Late Late Toy Show.
