Wallace says it’s not mission impossible

EDDIE O’SULLIVAN thought so highly of David Wallace he was the only number 7 deemed worthy of a place in a 30 strong World Cup squad.

A chronic ankle injury, however, has impaired his contribution and there have been few of those trademark bursts which Ireland badly need against Argentina at Parc des Prince on Sunday.

Mused Wallace: “I don’t think the ankle has been an issue, rather it’s been more the lack of match practice and training that have hindered me.”
