There were media duties on Tuesday morning for Cian Healy, Keith Earls and Garry Ringrose as well as forward coach Simon Easterby.

Against the backdrop of the dramatic Manhattan skyline, we spoke to Simon who gave us a rundown on the week ahead, and he spoke about the challenge posed by the USA as well as the opportunity for some young Irish players to make a mark.
