Rodrigo Pessoa brings impressive Irish squad to Sweden

Ireland are set to field their strongest show jumping team of the season so far for the Swedish Nations Cup at Falsterbo on Friday.

Manager Rodrigo Pessoa’s five-member squad includes the country’s three highest-ranked riders — Bertram Allen, Cian O’Connor, and Denis Lynch - the first time he has had all three in one squad.

Also included are Shane Sweetnam and Mark McAuley, with Pessoa due to name his final four tomorrow.
