Take your World Cup chance - O'Sullivan

Ireland coach Eddie O’Sullivan has urged his players to “throw down a marker for the World Cup” when they tackle Tonga tomorrow.

The Tongans have just returned from a two-match tour of New Zealand, during which they were heavily beaten by the Maori before forcing a 10-10 draw with the Division XV, a side of amateurs taken from the second and third tiers of the NPC.
