Romanian coach says no need for O’Sullivan’s men to go on red alert

ROMANIA’S French coach Bernard Charreyre has tipped Ireland to record a comprehensive victory over Russia in the World Cup qualifier in Siberia on September 21.

He said: “I don’t think Ireland will have a major problem if they play to their strengths. They should be much too good for Russia although everything may not be easy.”

Ireland head for Siberia on Thursday week and have, on the advice of the Romanian Rugby Federation, decided to charter a flight rath er than travel on scheduled services.
