O'Sullivan trims Rugby World Cup squad

Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan has trimmed his Rugby World Cup squad down to 37 players from the original training squad of 48 for next week's test match against Scotland.

The entire Rugby World Cup squad were put through their paces during a productive week long camp in the University of Limerick, but with the first warm up game against Scotland on Saturday August 11, the Ireland coach felt that it would be better to bring the numbers down for the team selection of that game.
