World Cup fate still in our own hands, insists Cunningham

KENNY CUNNINGHAM has insisted that Ireland’s World Cup fate still rests in their own hands as they aim to put the weekend’s frustrations behind them in the Faroe Islands.

With 12 points left on offer, Ireland can still finish the group with a total of 22 points.

With France and Switzerland to visit Lansdowne Road in the autumn, they can reach that figure by putting serious dents in their rivals’ own hopes in the process.
