Intro:

Grand Slam hopefuls Ireland train in Belfast ahead of their upcoming game with Wales.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Tommy Bowe, Ireland winger (Q: Are the celebrations still going on after the win over England or is it back to business now?)

"No certainly not. I think that to beat France and England at home in the last couple of matches has been fantastic. And obviously Italy away. We've been reminded that there are two seriously tough Test matches still to come. To see the Welsh go over to Paris and win over there. Win convincingly enough, just shows the quality that they are. So we know that we've got a very difficult challenge ahead of us and training has been tough and we're pushing on. We need to lift it up another level next week."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Tommy Bowe, Ireland winger (Q: Has talk of any Irish Grand Slam been banned around the camp?)

"Very much so. I think we all know that winning three games, we were building the momentum that we need. But with the strength of the teams still to play against, and certainly the Welsh next weekend, it's a place that you don't want to be getting too carried away (before playing there)."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Tommy Bowe, Ireland winger (Q: You've played in the centre for part of this campaign. How have you enjoyed that?)

"yes I've enjoyed it. I've always said to the coaches, to Joe (schmidt) that if the opportunity comes, I'd love to have a go at it. I've played a fair bit at centre in Wales and a little bit for Ulster too so it's nice to mix it up again. I think though it's come in the last ten minutes of the game where we've all been a bit tired so I haven't really had too much ball to attack off. But who knows, in the future I might get a few more opportunities."
