Watch as rugby fan proposes during Ireland training

It was an extra special day for one Ireland rugby fan today.

With the 2016 Six Nations looming on the horizon, the Irish rugby team held an open training session at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon.

Around 5,000 supporters turned out to watch the squad be put through their paces and hopefully pick up an autograph or two - but there was a surprise in store for Jessica Moraes.

Jessica seemed to have no idea what her boyfriend Paulo Eduardo had planned and you can see the look of shock on her face as he goes down on one knee to pop the question.

Jessica, of course, said “yes” to the delight of the watching crowd.
