One Direction star Niall Horan has joined the myriad of celebrities who are #BackingGreen ahead of Ireland’s eagerly anticipated clash with India at Hamilton tomorrow.
Members of the Ireland squad bumped into the Mullingar native while preparing for the World Cup at their pre-tournament camp in Coogee in early February.
The boyband singer has been keeping a close eye on Ireland’s progress at the showpiece event and showed his support for the Boys in Green by sporting the new O’Neills World Cup shirt signed by the entire squad, as One Direction continue their world tour.
