Ben Youngs and Dan Cole have been to Dublin more than your average city-breaker. They've also played more international rugby, driven through Dublin by coach and drank more pints with Rory Best than your average city-breaker too. That's why we've decided to bring you our Guide to Dublin.

From travel restrictions (thanks Coley) to best places to bump into Louis Walsh, we've got you covered.

Oh, and they also talk about what it's like playing Ireland at the Aviva Stadium in front of 50,000 fans.
