It will be an emotional occasion for Ireland's under-20s when they face Fiji in today's make or break final World Rugby Championship pool game in Stellenbosch (12.30pm Irish time).
The Ireland players have been granted permission to wear black armbands to mark the tragic deaths of 18-year-olds Andrew O'Donnell and Max Wall on the Greek island of Ios over the weekend, while they are also coming to terms with the death of Munster’s elite performance officer Greig Oliver, whose son Jack is in the U20 squad.
The teenagers had only recently finished school at St Michael's and six of Richie Murphy's under-20s squad attended the south Dublin rugby hotbed, while Oliver, a former Scotland international, died in a paragliding accident in South Africa.
