Being at an international tournament - especially one as lengthy as the Rugby World Cup - can get quite tedious.
In order to stave off boredom in between games and training, players need to keep themselves amused.
Let us not forget Richie Sadlier's cautionary tale regarding the Ireland squad at the 1999 U20 World Cup about what can happen if players do not have sufficient entertainment.
Ian Madigan and Rob Kearney have entertained themselves over the last 24 hours, by trying to get Sean O'Brien a date.
Madigan had to turn down an offer from Amy Garland, but offered O'Brien as an alternative.
@Amy__May_ hi Amy! I'd a good day thanks. I'm flattered that you would ask! I have a girlfriend, @SeanOBrien1987 wud guarantee a good date!

And she took Ian's advice.
Hey @SeanOBrien1987 your friend Ian said I should get in touch.. What are you doing after your match on Sunday? — Amy Garland (@Amy__May_) September 30, 2015
Similarly, Rob Kearney also turned down an approach. He too made the suggestion that O'Brien might be available.
@CoDanielle thank you for the offer but I can't however @SeanOBrien1987 might be interested!!

No word yet from Sean O'Brien though, whose last tweet was about a high protein snack made from Irish beef.
Delighted to be part of @StriptSnacks here's a little preview #gotbeef #teamstript https://t.co/t86RxcESQF — Sean O' Brien (@SeanOBrien1987) September 24, 2015
