Horgan and Hickie train with Ireland team

The Ireland team trained this afternoon in balmy sunshine and 25 degrees Celsius at their training field in the Stade Bordelais in Le Bouscat, just outside the city of Bordeaux.

Denis Hickie, who had been suffering from a bout of tonsillitis since the team's arrival on Wednesday evening, took a limited part in the session today, but is expected to take his place in the Ireland team to play Namibia on Sunday.
