Rugby quartet add weight to Gaza flotilla campaign

FOUR top-level Irish rugby players have given their backing to a second aid flotilla trying to break the Gaza blockade.

Six Nations stars Gordon D‘Arcy and Eoin Reddan were urged to support the Irish wing of the campaign, which organisers fear faces a second showdown with the Israeli navy in coming weeks.

Retired Leinster player Trevor Hogan asked the pair, along with teammate John Fogarty, to speak out in support of the Gaza campaigners in a video.
