Colgan pays tribute to team-mates

Man of the match Nick Colgan paid tribute to his team-mates after making his starting debut in the 2-1 friendly victory over Australia at Lansdowne Road.

Colgan, on loan at Stockport, made a couple of good saves in the second half - one to deny Leeds striker Mark Viduka making it 2-0 which would have put the game out of the Republic’s reach.
