Blue movies and wine gums: What makes a good room mate in camp with Ireland?

Ireland are continuing their preparations in Celtic Manor ahead of Sunday's Pool D decider against France in Cardiff.

Three of the stars expected to play in that game have spoken about what it it like to have a good room mate in camp. Captain Paul O'Connell, Jonathan Sexton and Rob Henshaw all got together as part of a new video by Ireland sponsors Three as part of their #AllitTakes series. 

Henshaw spoke about rooming with prop Mike Ross and how it exceeded all his expectations. He told Sexton and O'Connell that Ross filled his laptop with movies but was quick to clarify "they werent blue movies". 

O'Connell seems to be generous to his room mates in camp with Ireland and Munster. He said he gives "two wax earplugs, brand new" at the start of the week to his team mate as he has "a bad night here and there snoring".

Tommy Bowe and Darren Cave are both singled out for attention from Sexton as bad snorers. Bowe especially is an "unbelievable snorer".

"All bets are off" if you get into Rala O'Reilly's room said Sexton.  Paul O'Connell added that the Irish bagman is "the most positive man on the planet". He is also handy for a Dairy Milk or Wine Gums if needed after a bad day.
