Irish head coach Laurent Cauet assesses the days ahead: “It will be a demanding week for us. We will face four strong teams and will also have full training sessions each day as well. The week will be very intense. I do believe that the lads will give a great account of themselves. They are versatile and they show no fear. They fight for every ball and they fight for each other”.
Ireland’s progress in the tournament can be followed on their Facebook page which will feature live scores, team news and interviews with players and staff.
