Michael Deasy: The Irish man hoping for a Samoa victory on Saturday

Like about 40,000 other Irish people, Michael Deasy will be in the Aviva Stadium on Saturday for the clash of Ireland and Samoa.

The only difference is he will be hoping for an away victory.

National strength and conditioning coach for the Samoan Rugby Union is a post few young boys dream of while growing up in Kilbrittain, Co Cork, but Deasy has played his cards as they have fallen and is immensely enjoying the experience.
