New captain Dan Sheehan reveals Ireland team ‘runs itself’ as he insists they won’t underestimate ‘passionate’ Wales

DAN SHEEHAN was held high by Jonah Lomu and insisted captaining Ireland will be easy because he will – again – be standing on the shoulders of giants. 

Hooker Sheehan has been selected as captain to lead Ireland this afternoon as they look to secure the Triple Crown against Wales in Cardiff

The 26-year-old was chosen to lead the team in the absence of the injured Caelan Doris and will do so for the first time, having previously captained Leinster on occasion. 

But he insisted that it has been made easy this week because there are so many leaders in the Ireland XV.

Sheehan said: “This team sorta runs itself with the leaders that is in it, there is a handful of people that obviously could have been named captain.

Pete (O’Mahony), Tadhg Beirne, Jamo (Jamison Gibson-Park), Jack Conan, a lot of them have huge amounts of leadership and they run the week as well. 

“Obviously my name gets the ‘C’ beside it but we know in our group that we rely on a lot of people. 

“It is not my responsibility to get everyone going, I’m relying on everyone else in our leadership group that we have. 

“It has been quite similar for a long time now and I rely on a lot of them.”

And the team photograph today can take the place of a lost prized picture in the Sheehan household, of when he got to meet All Blacks legend Lomu when he was four-years-old.

Sheehan revealed: “There was a photo but I can’t remember where it is anymore. We moved house a few times so it’s probably been lost.

“I actually think it was as simple as a family connection, I think my auntie was in a marketing agency at the time (it was a photoshoot for Ballygowan).

“They needed a kid willing to shave his head and my parents willingly put me forward!

“I have a vague memory of it. I was very young but I remember it being pretty cool. 

“I remember rocking back into school the next day with the hair cut and getting a good giggle out of the lads.”

HEAVY FAVOURITES

But today’s game is not expected to be a close shave with Ireland now 22-point favourites to beat a Wales side that have lost 14 in a row and dispensed with coach Warren Gatland

Interim coach Matt Sherratt has changed it up making eight changes from the side that lost to Italy in Rome.

And Sheehan acknowledged Ireland must be on their guard to get the win to secure the Triple Crown and stay on course for a Grand Slam.

He added: “They have been on a losing run of late but they’re a passionate nation. It’s not in any way an easy fixture.

“It’s tricky when it’s the week of the Test game to sort of switch it up or try to predict so we focused on what we can control 

“It’s (The Triple Crown) a hugely special trophy obviously, I remember being a kid and I think it came into school one day and thinking that was the best thing ever. 

“We need to make sure we don’t take it for granted at all, that it is a massive trophy to the Irish people, something that we are hugely proud of having won in the past. 

“So that is something that is on the line tomorrow and we want to make sure that we come away with a win, by the performance and not getting ahead of ourselves.”

A RARE Ferrari from the 1960s could be yours as it heads to auction and is set to go for an eye-watering sum.

The classic 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS will be sold in a couple of months, just in time for long summer drives with the roof down.

The Italian creation is just one of 200 produced between 1964 and 1966, making it an incredibly rare and top-tier purchase.

Despite estimations that the vehicle could sell for between £1.2 and £1.5 million, it is a collector’s dream.

Replacing the 250 GT platform, the 275 series came in hot with two models on offer – the sports coupe belinetta by Scaglietti and the luxuious roadster spider built by Pininfarina.

The model on offer is that from Pininfarina with sleek and elegant lines and the classic open-top convertible style harking back to early Ferraris.

It has a prominent front grill with the Ferrari stallion badge in silver, classic wing vents, and a truncated rear with silver bumpers and wire-spoke wheels.

The handsome roadster is finished in the timeless colour of Rosso Robino Chiaro paired with Nero Franzi leather and a black soft-top.

It has a 3.3L Colombo V12 giving it 260 horsepower, pairing speed with style and comfort.

In September 1966, Road & Track magazine reviewed the vehicle, recording a 0-60 mph time of 7.2 seconds and top speed of 145 mph.

Now part of The Aurora Collection, the Ferrari retains all of its matching-numbers body, chassis, engine, and gearbox, according to factory records.

In November 2018, it was certified by Ferrari Classische and its Red Book binder accompanies the vehicle.

The classic car, which is left-hand drive is currently in Italy, where it will go on auction with Broad Arrow in May 2025.

Broad Arrow said the limited number of 275 GTS’ makes it highly sought after.

The company said: “This limited production run has established the 275 GTS as one of Ferrari’s most sought-after Enzo-era road cars, cherished by collectors today as the most refined open-top interpretation of Ferrari’s celebrated 3.3-liter Colombo V12 platform.”

RM Sotheby’s called it: “An extremely desirable example of one of Pininfarina’s most successful open-topped designs.”

“This 275 GTS would undoubtedly enhance the collection of any Ferrari enthusiast or sports car aficionado,” the auction house added.

It’s history has been compiled by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini detailing how the Ferrari came off the production line in September 1965 and was delivered to its first owner in Germany.

The brand new vehicle was delivered via Auto Becker of Dusseldorg to Viktor Rolff, a prominent industrialist from Bergheim.

He had served as the principal sponsor of famed German Ferrari Formula One pilot Count Wolfgang Berghe von Trips, Broad Arrow said.

After he got a new Ferrari in September 1967, the 275 GTS was advertised in Auto Motor und Sport magazine saying it was in perfect condition with 17,000 km on the clock.

The second owner in Munich enjoyed the roadster so much that it racked up over 45,000 km by June 1968 when it was serviced at the Ferrari factory.

By the 1970s it went to Portugal and around 2011 it underwent restoration treatment.

London dealer Joe Macari bought the vehicle around 2018, the year it received the coveted certification from Ferrari, and it is now up for grabs once more.

Broad Arrow Auctions said: “Pininfarina’s masterful proportions shine in its stunning original Rosso Rubino Chiaro color scheme, distinguishing the 275 GTS as one of the studio’s most refined designs from Ferrari’s golden age of road car production.

“This example merits serious consideration from those collectors who value the technical sophistication and design excellence of Ferrari’s 1960s grand touring machines.”

But despite bans, skiers have taken to the slopes.

Ash, hot stones and giant flames can be seen in the background.

And an image shows the skiers admiring the eruption.

Marco Bassot, who has 416,000 Instagram followers, captured the moment on camera in Sicily, Italy.

Snowboarder Marco said: “This fracture started some days ago and created a huge, intense and impressive lava flow for more than 1,000 meters.

“I’ve seen many things in my 40 years of life but riding side by side of a flowing river of lava is one of the most special, impressive, and breathtaking experiences I’ve ever lived.”

A 3km river of lava is currently flowing out of the crater.

In the past, Etna’s eruptions have caused nearby towns to be covered in black volcanic ash.

This time round it has caused minimal disruption.
