Robbie Savage: ‘If you’re relying on Wes Hoolahan in Cardiff, you might go out’

Robbie Savage is confused. Has been since Monday evening when he heard some bloke on Irish TV going on and on about Wes Hoolahan and how the Republic of Ireland would have beaten Georgia in Tbilisi last weekend had the Norwich City player been picked, writes Brendan O’Brien.

The BT pundit shared his bemusement on Twitter and was duly told that the guy in studio was Eamon Dunphy, that he had played a bit of ball himself and that, like him or loathe him, ‘The Dunph’ wasn’t the only Irishman who tends to wax lyrical about Weso.
