The Ireland rugby squad got an early 'win' under their belts with a visit to the National Children's Hospitals in Temple St and Crumlin.
Andy Farrell's team kick off their inaugural Nations Championship campaign on Friday, followed by the 2027 Six Nations Championship and the build-up to the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.
They face Argentina, Fiji and then South Africa, before the finals weekend at the end of the month.
Ahead of all that, the squad spent time at the Children's Health Ireland hospital at Crumlin.
“You just think more about life and the important things as well," said Robert Baloucoune of what's become a notable IRFU tradition.

"It was a really nice experience, kind of opens your eyes to what life's about and stuff like that.
"It was great for the lads, I hope it was great for the kids as well, that we were able to come down and support them and they were all in the Halloween outfits.
"It was good to see them and have a smile on their face and at such a hard time as well."
