Ireland Under-20s will wear black armbands for their final World Rugby U20 Championship pool match against Fiji on Tuesday as a mark of respect to the two teenagers who died on holiday in Greece at the weekend.

Andrew O’Donnell and Max Wall, both 18, had been on a trip with school friends to the Greek island of Ios last week. Andrew went missing on Friday and following an intensive search, his remains were found near a cliff on the island on Sunday. It is understood he may have fallen. On the same day, Max fell ill near the port area of the island and was rushed to hospital where he passed away.
