O’Sullivan angered by training mix-up

CONFUSION over training times has left Ireland coach Eddie O’Sullivan fuming ahead of tomorrow’s World Cup quarter-final after his team’s Telstra Dome training yesterday was rescheduled and shortened.

Ireland were originally scheduled to train from 2pm to 5pm at the venue for tomorrow's clash against France, but then altered that plan to start at 10am a move within the World Cup rules.

However, by then New Zealand had been given the vacant 10am to 1pm slot, which led to frantic phone calls to organise who would train when.
