The World Cup cannot come quick enough for Ireland duo Tadhg Beirne and Stuart McCloskey yet there is also recognition of squad-mates who did not make the cut.

Six days out from the opening Pool B match of the campaign against Romania in Bordeaux, Ireland have successfully settled into their hotel and training base since arriving in the Loire Valley city of Tours last Thursday.
