Europeans next target for boss Revington

PAUL REVINGTON refuses to let his Ireland senior men’s side rest on their laurels despite watching them complete a remarkable underdog victory at the INSEP Five Nations in Paris yesterday.

Ranked lowest of the five participants in a high-quality tournament, Ireland overturned the odds in some style over the past six days, thrashing world number six Korea 5-1 and 11th-ranked Argentina 4-1 en route to their third trophy of the summer.

Only a 4-2 loss to world number one Australia blotted their copybook, and they went on to beat hosts France 2-0 in a controlled performance on Saturday to put themselves in the driving seat for overall honours.
