Kidney relishing shot at Saxons

Ireland coach Declan Kidney will challenge his 'A' players to give everything they have got to win the Churchill Cup final for the first time against the England Saxons, who are looking for their third straight win in the competition tonight (K.O. 9.30pm Irish time).

"It is a massive challenge for the team to play the defending Churchill Cup champions, but one they are all looking forward to. England has huge strength in depth and could easily put out another two or three sides of similar strength, so it will require a really good performance from us," said Kidney.
