IRELAND BAGGAGE MASTER Paddy ‘Rala’ O’Reilly has been with the Irish team for the past 15 years, and is one of the most popular members of the coaching set-up.
He is currently working at his fourth World Cup and was appointed Baggage Master for the British and Irish Lions’ tour in 2009.
In addition, he got his nickname when attempting to spell the Irish equivalent of O’Reilly on a school blackboard.
