Wood: “I won’t be found wanting in making certain that I’m fit enough”

THE road from Limerick to Gosford and Ireland’s opening World Cup match against Romania on October 11 will have been taken on two entirely different routes as far as Keith Wood and David Wallace are concerned.

The paths converged at Lansdowne Road on Saturday, though, as both men took their first meaningful strides towards reclaiming a place at the heart of Ireland's World Cup plans this

autumn, having overcome serious, long-term shoulder injuries.
