Irish rugby star Sean Cronin welcomed his first daughter into the world today just two days before the PRO14 final.
Sean's wife Claire gave birth to an adorable baby called Saoirse at Holles Street Hospital in Dublin.
And the new arrival was on the whistle as Sean has to fly off to Glasgow with his Leinster teammates for Saturday's big final.
It is the couple's third child after the birth of twin boys Finn and Cillian in December 2016.
The baby's proud father posted a picture on his Instagram holding the tot against his Leinster jersey
He wrote: "Welcome to the world Saoirse Cronin. Claire a trooper again! Everybody doing great. Two big brothers to keep an eye on her too!"
Sean and wife Claire got married in their native Limerick in 2015 after 11 years dating.
The rugby player is set to start at hooker for Leinster against Glasgow Warriors on Saturday as the Blues look to defend their title.
