Six-year-old rugby superfan, Emmet O'Neill, from Monaghan, had the trip of a lifetime yesterday as he flew to Rome to support the Boys in Green.

As the airline partner for the IRFU, Aer Lingus searched the country to bring home advantage to the team, in the form of Emmet, ahead of Ireland's game against Italy tomorrow.
