O’Sullivan expects Georgia to come out of the blocks ‘on fire’

THE nervous tension in the Irish camp is tangible ahead of tonight’s second World Cup game against Georgia at Stade Chaban Delmas (8pm, Setanta, TV3, ITV).

This could well be the last-chance saloon for several of the side which flopped against Namibia, and unless the team shows drastic improvement, the reaction will be one of national outrage.

Coach Eddie O’Sullivan will be the main target for the vitriol because of the vote of confidence given to last week’s flops, but the highly paid players won’t escape should they fail to deliver.
