GALLERY: Irish players make Sumo visit ahead of Japan matches

Ireland's rugby team are acclimatising to life in the Far East, by taking in some Japanese culture. 

Ahead of this weekend's first Test match against Japan, members of the team and staff travelled to a local Sumo Stable as the team had a day off in Tokyo.

On Saturday, the team face Japan in Fukuroi, before the second Test a week later in Tokyo.
