With Ireland justifiably one of the favourites for this year's Rugby World Cup, coach Andy Farrell will be hoping to run a tight ship within the Irish camp at ground zero in France.
Previous World Cups for Ireland have been blighted by poor preparation and poor living standards, with the horrors of their last visit to France for the 2007 tournament well documented in various interviews, autobiographies, and thinkpieces in the years since.
It seems as though the organisers of the Irish camp for this tournament have learned from past failings, with heavy security around the team's hotel to ensure privacy, a base within easy distance of all three venues for Ireland's group games, and a visibly positive atmosphere around the group.
But that is not to say that the Ireland team will be accepting any slouching on their quest for Rugby World Cup glory - as a video shared to the IRFU's social media on Wednesday morning showcases.

Irish rugby: Social media clip shows how punishments are handed out in camp
The sight of Tadhg Beirne sporting a suit on the Ireland training pitch was enough to pique interest on Wednesday morning, as he stood beside prop Dave Kilcoyne - clad more conventionally in an Irish training jersey.
It is revealed that Beirne was "less than a minute" late for a team meeting, and thus a punishment was in order from the Ireland rugby fines committee.

The video gave us an insight into who rules the roost in the Irish rugby camp, with Beirne forced to spin a wheel filled with prospective punishments chosen by a group made up of Kilcoyne, Jack Conan, and James Ryan.
Wearing a suit to training was one of the punishments on the wheel - though the group were so kind as to allow Beirne to wear his own runners to the training ground.
It seems as though spirits are high in the Irish camp, and that the vibes between the players continue to be strong, even when tongue-in-cheek punishments are handed out.
The video of Tadhg Beirne's punishment is reminiscent of those seen in Lions camps down through the years, with our personal favourite being Simon Zebo's call to then-Munster coach Rob Penney to ask if he could be made captain for the coming season.
If Tadhg Beirne can keep up his form from Ireland's first game of the Rugby World Cup, which saw him score two tries against Romania in a swelteringly hot Bordeaux, then he will be a crucial asset for Andy Farrell's squad.
Ireland's next game sees them face Tonga in Nantes on Saturday evening, with kick-off at 8pm Irish time.
