No place for Marshall in Super League showdown
Their decision yesterday came after Harry Marshall relented last Friday from his vow not to ride for Ireland and made himself available. However, his about-turn came the same day as the deadline for submission of teams expired.
In a statement yesterday, the selectors welcomed Marshall’s offer, but “as team plans were so advanced, the committee has now offered Harry a place on the reserves for the team, in the event of a horse or rider dropping out through injury or illness”.
