The Irish rugby team had some special guests at dinner last night

Joe Schmidt and his Ireland side continue their preparations for this weekend's game with France at their Celtic Manor base.

A win, and possibly a draw against the French will be enough to top Pool D and potentially avoid a quarter final clash against World Champions New Zealand.  

Ahead of the game, five Irish sporting legends were invited to the camp to meet the players. Ten time All Ireland winner Henry Shefflin, Olympic silver medalist and World champion Sonia O'Sullivan, World champion Barry McGuigan, champion jockey AP McCoy and former Irish international Niall Quinn spoke to the team last night in Celtic Manor.
