    Ireland was thumped 3-0 by Nigeria, with Martin Rowlands coming on at the half with Ireland down 1-0. Next up in the Unity Cup for Ireland, they face Jamaica on Wednesday and the Reports from this game say Ireland is likely to run out "a very experimental side" in that match, so I'm guessing we may see Rowlands' first international start.

    Congrats to Martin on his second cap.

    Excellent, well not the result as I'm an Ireland fan, but hope to see Rowly play most of the match.

    Jamaica hasn't been great lately, so I wouldn't even rule out an "experimental" Ireland's chance against the Reggae Boyz. Plus, Jamaica plays Nigeria tomorrow, so will either have to dilute their side in both games or will be playing even more tired than Ireland.
