Ireland boss Andy Farrell will name his squad for this weekend's clash against Fiji on Thursday afternoon.
"In some ways it has been quite a natural, incremental process," he said. "The whole thing from underage, into the academy, first cap with Leinster, first European cap, my debut..it hasn't felt like one massive jump, it's kind of been quite an incremental thing. And, like, both environments are so enjoyable to be in. It's a very enjoyable process as well. "I love coming in to train every day, I love being in camp.
That's nice as well. I'm a little bit more able to take it in my stride, and enjoy it a little bit more, and know that there's so many good leaders around me. "There's also that element of pressure, especially given the New Zealand game didn't go how we wanted and then you're feeling 'God, we have to win this week now'.
