Evan Ferguson was seen soaking up the atmosphere before last night's qualifier with France.
The Brighton star led the line for 65 minutes and had some nice touches as Ireland fell to an agonising 1-0 defeat to France.
Over 50,000 packed into the Aviva Stadium on Monday evening to create one of the best Lansdowne Road atmospheres in recent years.

In the biggest game of his fledgling career, Ferguson was pumped up as the anthems began and could be seen literally rubbing his hands together in anticipation ahead of the game.
It's an amazing clip that shows just what a superstar Ferguson is at such a tender age.
Needless to say, Irish fans adored his reaction to the anthems.
"The chap is on cloud 9, fair play to him," said Joseph on Twitter.
"Lads I actually love him," said Lucy.
"Love seeing this. His excitement to be in games like this is exactly what I want playing for Ireland," wrote another Irish fan.
"when a young player is that excited about playing a big game against the best in the world you know he has the right mentality for it" said another user.
