England firmly in Jackson’s sights as Irish target semis
Andrew Meredith’s green machine, ranked 15th in the world, are pooled with Netherlands (third), Poland (20th) and England (fourth) for the bi-annual tournament, which begins in Boom, Belgium today.
Jackson, who takes over the armband from Ronan Gormley, is back in England with Reading this year having spent six seasons with Loughborough prior to a two-year stint in Belgium, and says the clash with the English will be pivotal as Ireland chase a top-four finish for the first time.
