Johnny Sexton will take part in the captain's run at the Aviva Stadium today as he prepares to skipper his country for only the second ever time tomorrow.
Ireland take on Scotland in the opening round of the Six Nations in Dublin at a quarter-to-five on Saturday.
It will be new head coach Andy Farrell's first game in charge and Sexton says there's a positive atmosphere in the camp; "It's also great when you get coaches of good caliber in, brillianr ex-player that has been there and done, I'm always keen to keep learning like all the players are, it's always great to get fresh voices and I think it just gives that bit extra and you need to prove yourself again".
