DAN SHEEHAN has admitted getting the call to captain Ireland in their upcoming Nations Championship series “didn’t faze” him.

The 27-year-old hooker will skipper the team on their three-match tour — which starts against Australia on Saturday — after Caelan Doris was ruled out with a foot injury.

Sheehan revealed the call came during celebrations in the days after Leinster’s 36-7 United Rugby Championship (URC) final triumph over Pretoria Bulls last month.
