Stephen’s delight at Trap’s decision not to Ward off Irish WAGS

Stephen Ward reckons Giovanni Trapattoni has made the right choice by making Ireland’s WAGS welcome at Euro 2012.

The subject of partners and families attending major championships has been a thorny issue for national managers to deal with.

Trapattoni’s fellow countryman Fabio Capello famously banned wives and girlfriends of England’s players from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. But Wolves left-back Ward believes Ireland boss Trapattoni is correct to allow the families to be near their official base in Sopot.
