GREEK TRAGEDY ROCKED OUR LADS
IT will be an emotional occasion for Ireland when they face Fiji in today's make-or-break final World U20 Championship pool game.

The Ireland players have been granted permission to wear black armbands to mark the tragic deaths of 18-year-olds Andrew O'Donnell and Max Wall on the Greek island of los over the weekend.

The teenagers had only recently finished school at St Michael's and six of Richie Murphy's squad attended the south Dublin rugby hotbed.

The news from Greece shocked the players with Murphy (right) revealing how "massively devastated" all in the Ireland camp are feeling.
